Business Wire
Cummins Westport Inc. (“CWI”) is pleased to announce that it has
received certifications from both the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (“EPA”) and Air Resources Board (“ARB”) in California for
its B6.7N natural gas engine. Like the Cummins Westport ISX12N and
L9N engines, the B6.7N meets California ARB optional Low NOx
standard of 0.02 g/bhp-hr, a 90% reduction from engines operating
at the current EPA NOx limit of 0.2 g/bhp-hr. The B6.7N also meets
2021 EPA greenhouse gas emission (“GHG”) requirements.
“We’re proud to continue our legacy of emissions-leading
products,” said Gordon Exel, President, Cummins Westport Inc. “The
B6.7N is an excellent choice for medium-duty customers looking to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower their overall
environmental footprint without sacrificing performance.”
The B6.7N natural gas engine is available with ratings from 200
to 240 hp and up to 560 lb-ft. of peak torque. The B6.7N is
designed for truck, school bus, and shuttle bus. Like Cummins
Westport’s L9N and ISX12N engines, the B6.7N features on-board
diagnostics, an enhanced, maintenance-free three-way catalyst, a
closed crankcase ventilation system, and an engine control module
recently redesigned for improved durability.
“All of the institutional knowledge we developed with the
9-liter and 12-liter engines went into the B6.7N,” said Tom Hodek,
Cummins Westport Sales and VPI Program Director. “We’re now able to
deliver a full suite of ‘Near Zero’ emissions options for the
on-highway market, and we feel these products give the industry an
economically viable way to reduce emissions while maintaining
performance and low cost of operation.”
All CWI engines offer customers the choice of using compressed
natural gas (“CNG”), liquefied natural gas (“LNG”), or renewable
natural gas (“RNG”) as a fuel. RNG is pipeline-quality natural gas
produced from the decomposition of organic waste, which can come
from a variety of sources such as dairy farms, landfills, and urban
waste treatment plants. Combining Cummins Westport’s ultra-low
emission engines with RNG fuel provides additional and significant
GHG reductions.
