The Propane Education and Research Council (PERC) has launched the Propane Landscape Demonstration Program, offering landscapers the chance to trial next-generation, propane-powered equipment.
Through the program, participants will receive a propane-powered commercial mower or utility vehicle for a 10-day trial period. Participants can use the equipment on their daily routes, gather crew insights and see how it compares to their current gasoline or diesel units. In exchange, participants provide feedback to PERC on the equipment’s performance.
“Landscapers want equipment that’s efficient, clean, quiet and cost-effective,” said Michael Newland, director of agriculture business development at PERC. “Propane-powered landscaping equipment offers the comparable power and torque of gasoline engines while delivering essential advantages in logistics, maintenance, emissions and cost. This program allows operators who are curious about propane to see the technology in action in their daily work and within their own unique environment.”

PERC is a nonprofit that provides propane safety and training programs and invests in research and development of new propane-powered technologies. PERC is operated and funded by the propane industry.
