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.

I'm sorry to say that the current grand loser in my portfolio is Westport. I still have 1000 shares from 2014---you don't want to know the rest :wah::down:

I need to move on:dunno:

I suppose I should feel fortunate that my only investment in Cummins is parked in my driveway...:cigar:...Ben

I also have Cummins---but that is a far more enjoyable story :getdown:

Westport Innovations is a Canadian company and does have joint supply agreements with Cummins but to the best of my knowledge Cummins does not have any kind of ownership position---I wish they did:beat:

All if our "diesel" city buses run on CNG. You can not smell a thing behind them.

The Detroit Diesels in the garbage trucks here are the same...:hatoff:...Ben

Times are changing....at least now when you google "cummins anti gun" you get a picture of Elija Cummings on the first page.......:shutup::tiptoe:

:ban:

We have a CNG loading facility 5 miles from the cottage.

I have never seen the interior of the trailers---but they are not what I would expect of a CNG transport vehicle.

The exterior is in all ways just a common dry van trailer, I have to assume there is a tank(s) inside. They are always parked with the nose toward the road when loading, thus no chance of peaking inside :shrug:

Our gas is particularly well suited for that application. It is both dry (contains only methane) and the BTU content is within 5 BTU/therm (higher), than the standard.

Probably not a lot to see, Dave. I found a video that shows the back end open. Just a bunch of valves, gauges and such. Look at the 1:20 point +/-.

I'm one of those who would have expected an entirely different configuration on the transports...:uhh:...Ben
