These fuel efficient and emissions-compliant compressed (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered vehicles built at Peterbilt’s truck manufacturing facilities, join the company’s family of SmartWay certified on-highway vehicles and alternative fuel vehicles.
All Peterbilt natural gas platform vehicles are equipped with the Cummins Westport ISL-G engine which offers a 320hp rating and 1,000 ft-lbs of torque.
Peterbilt trucks equipped with the Cummins ISL-G engines use cooled EGR to lower in-cylinder exhaust gas temperature. The ISL-G engine has a three way catalyst (TWC) that is 95% effective in NOx conversion and is effective in controlling all CO2 and hydrocarbons, the company claimed.
The Peterbilt Model 384 powered by the Cummins Westport’s ISL-G is a clean burning aerodynamic platform that catres customer applications including bulk and tanker hauling, and in shipping ports in non-attainment areas.
Peterbilt said that its Model 384 has been recognized as fuel efficient and environmentally-friendly by the EPA’s SmartWay program.
The Peterbilt Model 365 NG, powered by the Cummins ISL-G and featuring systems to enhance weight distribution has a 115inches BBC and is available in both set-forward and set-back axle configurations and is suitable for a vocational application.
The Model 320 , which also is equipped with the Cummins ISL-G, CNG or LNG tanks will be used for refuse applications.
Bill Jackson, general Manager of Peterbilt, said: ”Our natural gas Models 384, 365 and 320 demonstrate our industry leadership in developing products that will reduce harmful emissions and provide exceptional fuel efficiency.
“These clean powered platforms provide an environmental option for customers, without jeopardizing quality or performance.”
