Westport LNG System for Heavy-Duty Trucks: Specifications
Base Engine
2007 Cummins ISX
  • Engine weight (dry): 3,021 lbs
  • Major engine features such as Cummins Intebrake™ and cruise control are retained.
  • Engine specifications to be confirmed by Westport before engine order.


Emissions Levels
2007 U.S. EPA & CARB Certification:
NOx 0.6 g/bhp-hr*   CO 0.1 g/bhp-hr
PM < 0.01 g/bhp-hr   CO2 445 g/bhp-hr
* engineering target—subject to certification testing


Exhaust Aftertreatment
Taking the place of a muffler is an integrated Cummins Particulate Filter. This unit contains an oxidation catalyst and particulate filter to trap and oxidize the microscopic particles (soot) contained within the exhaust gas.

Cummins Particulate Filter

Cummins Particulate Filter is designed to last for the life of your engine. The average line-haul truck will only perform filter maintenance one time in the first four years. Service intervals are optimized with the system being monitored through the engine control module (ECM) and in-cab displays.

Engine Ratings
Four engine ratings are offered, two with SmartTorque compatibility.  Click to view torque/horsepower curves.

* SmartTorque: this Cummins exclusive feature automatically adds up to 200 extra lb-ft of torque in the top two gears, so drivers can climb uphill without having to downshift and stay in the top gears longer. This extra power helps maintain road speed, and reduce downshifts with the added benefit of up to 3% better fuel economy. (Only available on 2007+ models)


OEM Compatibility
Currently available in models from:

Kenworth

Compatible models from:

Volvo     Peterbilt     International


transmission compatibility
Available with manual transmissions compatible with the Cummins ISX and appropriate for the engine rating.

OEM to provide options based on vehicle application.

LNG Tank Configurations
Tanks are installed along the frame rail, like diesel tanks, and can be used in any combination (maximum of two tanks). To estimate vehicle range, multiply the standard diesel vehicle fuel economy for the applications by the usable diesel equivalent gallons (DEG) value provided in the table below.

  1. Calculated on an energy equivalent basis.
  2. Estimated incremental vehicle weight is based on the weight of the Westport LNG system,
    less the weight of removed diesel components.
  3. Actual wheelbase requirements dependant on vehicle specification.
