a source of new diesel engines, which it has been looking for since 2010 when the EPA rejected its heavy duty diesel emissions tech- nology.

Peterbilt to offer Cummins Westport ISL-G Near Zero engine on some trucks P eterbilt will offer the Cummins Westport ISL-G natural gas en- gine for the 320, 520, and 567 truck models. The ISL-G Near Zero engine uses a closed crankcase ventilation sys- tem (CCV) and a unique three-way catalyst in the after-treatment to achieve emission controls that Pe- terbilt claims to be 90 percent lower than current EPA NOx limits. The new engine's 320 horsepow- er and 1,000 pounds feet of torque match the current generation ISL-G. The natural gas used to power the engine can either be compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefi ed natu- ral gas (LNG), but can also be run completely on renewable natural gas (RNG), as well. The Westport ISL-G Near Zero is expected to be available for production in the 320 and 520 before the new year, and will be available for the 567 in early 2017.
