Cummins Westport, a leading provider of high-performance, alternative fuel engines for the global market, announced that Navistar will offer the Cummins Westport ISL G in the International® TranStar and WorkStar trucks.
The ISL G is the #1 natural gas engine in North America, with over 13,000 engines produced since it was first introduced in 2007. While initial success was in the transit and refuse markets, more recently the conventional truck market has shown an interest in natural gas.
The ISL G engine operates on either compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG), both of which are cost effective, low carbon, and low emissions fuels.
Roe East, President of Cummins Westport , commented, “ Adding Navistar completes the listing of the ISL G with all major North American truck OEMs and reaffirms Cummins Westport’s position of market leadership for natural gas engines. ”
