SKN is one of the leading providers of optimised engine control software.  Experience from over 15 years of engine development and motor sports goes into all of our products. So it is not much of a surprise that SKN uses its acquired knowledge not only in the area of boosting performance but also to optimise fuel consumption. With ECO tuning available since early 2005, SKN again created a milestone in the development engine software, from which thousands of passenger vehicle and truck users benefit today. This concentrated knowledge, coupled with the experience of several hundred AUTOGAS installations within the SKN Group makes us your competent partner in the AUTOGAS sector.

It goes without saying that a complete conversion to AUTOGAS would mean certain savings but the optimal performance gain and thus the best savings effect can only happen with a selection of the correct components and a sophisticated tuning effect. Here lie the major benefits of SKN. You receive a tailor-made packages which is optimised specifically for your vehicle. Excellent processing, high-quality hardware and software and the required TÜV expert reports are a matter of course.

Do not save money on the wrong end – choose quality for your vehicle – cost-effectiveness for your wallet – choose SKN!

If liquid gas is used as a fuel, it is called AUTOGAS. AUTOGAS is extremely affordable, environmentally-friendly and is therefore used to propel combustion engines. It is just as suitable as a fuel as gasoline. Diesel or natural gas. The quality requirements of AUTOGAS are uniform throughout Europe and are regulated in DIN EN 589 and thereby allow trouble-free cross-border use. On of the most marked properties of AUTOGAS is its high knock-resistance which makes the addition of additives superfluous. AUTOGAS (propane, butane and mixtures of these) is a hydrocarbon which is liquefied under very minimal tank pressure of only 8 bar. Thus, it absorbs only 1/260 of its gaseous volume. AUTOGAS is an ideal energy source with a very high energy content and environmentally-friendly combustion properties. AUTOGAS vehicles therefore are the vehicles which realize the lowest hazardous material emission for combustion engines.

The AUTOGAS fuel is virtually sulphur-free and the combustion occurs almost without the emission of soot. Hazardous materials such as CO, HC, NOX and other emission components which are hazardous to the health and the environment occur to a much lesser degree. In addition, AUTOGAS vehicles cause up to 50 percent less noise than diesel vehicles. An AUTOGAS vehicle emits up to 80% less hazardous materials into the environment than comparable gasoline or diesel vehicles.  The emission of exhaust components such as benzene, aldehydes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) is considerably reduced. With a modern AUTOGAS system, the threshold values of EURO 4 standard effective in 2005 can be achieved.

The use of liquid gas for engine purposes has proven effective in practice for decades. Among other things it is particularly appreciated as a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly fuel for forklifts because clean combustion also allows the use of forklifts within buildings.

AUTOGAS as propulsion energy lowers the fuel costs and saves the environment. Use in conventional Otto engines is trouble-free. Gasoline-operated vehicles can also be equipped with no difficulties later. The associated costs are currently approximately 1,890 – 2,590 € depending on the vehicle type and AUTOGAS system. For busses and trucks, a cost of between 9,900 € and 19,900 € is estimated. A private passenger vehicle user who drives primarily using AUTOGAS – already paying for the modification approximately one year. The basis fort he calculation is 40,000 kilometres driven annually and a consumption of nine litres per 100 kilometres.

With AUTOGAS - liquid gas as a fuel – a safe and primarily cost-effective alternative is available. Once the modification is complete, up to 0.50 € / litres less are paid. This is possible through the tax benefit which is fixed until 2009. There are over 7 million AUTOGAS vehicles worldwide. Our European neighbours have known this for a long time – AUTOGAS is a safe and proven fuel and it costs considerably less. In 1997, there were approximately 4,000 AUTOGAS vehicles. At the end of 2001, that number had already grown to approximately 12,000 – a continuously upward trend.

AUTOGAS can also be cost-effective and environmentally friendly when compared to diesel. You should keep this in mind when purchasing a new automobile. AUTOGAS technology is safe and has proven to be very effective for decades. A large number vehicles with Otto engines can be modified for AUTOGAS.  Gasoline-powered vehicles can be easily equipped later with an AUTOGAS drive. No mechanical modifications to the engine are required.
