Propane Truck Builders Association (PTBA), an NTEA operating division since 2007, was formed to promote and serve common interests of propane truck builders in development and use of safe, efficient propane delivery vehicles.
PTBA members must meet stringent regulatory requirements in the building, inspection and repair of these hazardous-material vehicles. The group reviews and addresses the amount and complexity of federal government regulations with which propane truck builders must comply and brings a unified industry response to regulatory initiatives and proposals companies need to meet. In addition, PTBA helps propane truck buyers stay informed regarding regulatory compliance issues and the importance of using qualified builders and repair facilities.
Member companies work with chassis manufacturers to best meet customer needs, including on specification development for propane-powered chassis used in delivery segments.
