Faber brings with him extensive experience of the autogas market having worked as a product development engineer for LPG fuel injection system supplier Vialle in Holland for nine years.

In his new role, Faber will be responsible for providing technical support to the vehicle converters, recruiting new workshops to give even greater nationwide coverage as well as supporting the local marketing efforts of its network members.

The Autogas vehicle conversion network was established earlier in 2015 as part of a £1m investment programme which has also seen its UK refuelling infrastructure rebranded. The network currently includes a number of pilot conversion centres, strategically located around the UK who are working closely with businesses and private individuals keen to reduce both their vehicle emissions and fuel costs.

Speaking on his appointment, Faber said: “With the current concerns about air quality and vehicle emissions, this is an incredibly exciting time to be joining Autogas. This is perhaps an unprecedented opportunity to help grow the LPG vehicle parc in the UK and I’m looking forward to working closely with our converters to encourage more fleets and individuals to make the switch to the cheaper, cleaner fuel.”
