Get to know the X15N

Low and stable natural gas prices continue to draw attention from fleets and owner-operators looking to reduce operating costs while lowering emissions.

Fleets that are already using natural gas trucks stand to gain additional value by expanding with Cummins’ portfolio of natural gas engines.

From tough terrain across the United States for UPS to steep grades in Canada, Cummins’ X15N natural gas engine has spent its first year proving it can handle heavy hauls while delivering near-zero emissions at a lower fuel cost than diesel.

As more truck engines using alternative fuel enter the market, including the Cummins X15N, more repair shops are weighing their options for providing indoor service in a properly outfitted facility.

Shell Starship 3.0, one of the most aerodynamic tractor-trailers on the road, has moved beyond test routes and into the high-performance world of INDYCAR.

Summary The trucking industry is moving towards cleaner, more efficient engines – and the Cummins X15N™ natural gas engine is a big step in that direction.

Throughout the last few years, Cummins Inc.

What if the stuff we throw away could keep trucks moving? In this episode of Power Onward, Kim sits down with Dave to talk about renewable natural gas, aka RNG, and how it turns things like landfill trash, cow manure, and food waste into clean, usable fuel.

Just as diesel and gasoline quality are monitored, so is natural gas for Cummins' long lineup of engines that use the low-cost, clean-burning fuel.

What is renewable natural gas?  Renewable natural gas (RNG) differs from fossil fuels as it's produced from various types of waste, like used cooking oil, animal waste, sludge from wastewater, manure and other waste materials.

Summary Landfills are no longer just disposal points, but rather, they can be the starting points for new energy sources.

Summary The energy transition in transportation is happening now.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “doing more with less?” Advanced diesel engines are specifically engineered to minimize fuel emissions while also achieving optimum performance through high torque and horsepower.

Summary Compared to traditional diesel engines, natural gas engines have several advantages.

When it comes to natural gas engines, there are a range of frequently asked questions about the cost, practicality, and feasibility of integrating natural gas into commercial fleets.
