26 Marketplace T R U C K P A R T S & S E R V I C E | J u n e 2 0 1 5 Off The Line Spotlighting a new OEM innovation Cummins Westport introduces its ISB6.7G, the company's newest mid- range natural gas engine. Preliminary specs include a range of ratings from 260 hp and 660 lb.-ft. of torque. Rob Neitzke, president of Cummins Westport, says the ISB6.7G is based off Cummins' ISB6.7 diesel engine platform. The ISB6.7G, which will operate exclusively on CNG or LNG, features Cummins Westport's spark-ignited, stoichiometric combustion with cooled exhaust gas recirculation (SEGR), which was fi rst introduced in the ISLG. Cummins says it features a three- way catalyst aftertreatment packaged as a maintenance-free muffl er and will not require a particulate fi lter or SCR system. Mid-range natural gas engine Bulkhead reservoir Buyers Products introduces a new 36-gallon, hydraulic, bulkhead res- ervoir to its line of hydraulic truck equipment. The new reservoir is ideal for use on technician's trucks with hydraulic cranes and compressors, the company says. Buyers' new reservoir is constructed of 12-gauge, black powder- coated steel with 36-gallon gross capacity and 30-gallon usable capacity. Leak detector Snap-on introduces its new ACT825 A/C leak detector. The product fea- tures a large LCD color screen, mode/status indicators and powerful bat- tery, the company says. The detector also is said to have a user-friendly interface and heated "environment sensing" tip offer accurate read- ings and virtually eliminate false alarms. Dual-clutch transmission module BorgWarner says the fi rst dual-clutch transmission (DCT) for Class 6 and 7 trucks in North America is powered by its DualTronic clutch module. Designed to deliver the fuel effi ciency of a manual gearbox combined with the convenience and smooth shift- ing of a fully automatic trans- mission, BorgWarner's Dual- Tronic clutch module features advanced high-energy wet friction materials for respon- sive shifting, dynamic perfor- mance and robust durability, the company says. Aerodynamic trailer product EkoStinger has released a two-part aerody- namic trailer product. The system includes a stable cross member system that attaches to the trailer and a moveable arrow portion. The arrow moves with the tandem without driver interaction keeping the aerodynamics consistent in any tandem position or driving condition, the com- pany says. The combination of these two systems provides the vehicle owner with safer driving conditions for its drivers, prolongs the life of the trailer, reduces maintenance and consistently saves fuel. High-amperage alternator DENSO has unveiled a new high-amperage alterna- tor for the medium- and heavy-duty truck markets. DENSO says the PowerEdge is smaller, lighter and more effi cient than industry standards. PowerEdge alternators are available in four output versions (170amp, 185amp, 205amp, and 220amp) and each unit is equipped with heavy-duty bearings, advanced long-life brush composition, and remote sense technology to prolong battery life, DENSO says.
