Paper Transport adds to CNG trucks fleet

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.
