The Australian Government has established the LPG Vehicle Scheme to assist private motorists with:

• the purchase of a factory-fitted dedicated LPG vehicle; or
• an approved retrofit of an LPG system to a suitable new or used petrol or diesel vehicle.

The Scheme is designed to encourage the uptake and use of LPG as an alternate fuel.

The LPG Vehicle Scheme provides a grant of:

• $2000 for an approved and fitted LPG conversion of a new or used motor vehicle for private use
• $1000 will be paid for a factory-fitted LPG-dedicated vehicle for private use. (Currently, only Ford manufactures such a vehicle).

To be eligible for the grant the vehicle must:

• be for private use (not for commercial or business use);
• be any passenger or light commercial vehicle less than 3.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Mass;
• be registered in the state of residence of the claimant;
• not be subject to a novated lease or salary sacrifice arrangement.
