Paper Transport unveiled the latest in its continuing move toward a more green fleet – the first full-production Kenworth T680 equipped with a natural gas engine.
“We continue our move toward a more environmentally conscious fleet operation by replacing our diesel-fueled trucks with Kenworth’s most aerodynamic model powered by compressed natural gas (CNG),” said Jeff Shefchik, president of Paper Transport . “We were excited to share this next step in truck innovation with our employees. This first full-production Kenworth T680 powered by CNG represents our first truly aerodynamic CNG truck in a sleeper configuration.”
The T680 is equipped with a 400-hp Cummins Westport ISX12 G engine and a 76-inch sleeper.
Paper Transport has equipped its Kenworth T680 with 76-inch sleeper with Agility Fuel System’s new 155-gallon diesel gallon equivalent behind-the-cab compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system. It can deliver a range of about 600 miles before refueling, which offers the industry’s best DGE per inch of frame rail.
