10,000th Cummins Westport nat-gas engines rolls off line

VANCOUVER — Cummins Westport is celebrating the production of the 10,000th ISL G natural gas engine at the Cummins Engine Plant in Rocky Mount, N.C.

Along with the ISL G production milestone, the plant also reached the 30,000 total natural gas engines production mark.

"The Cummins Westport ISL G natural gas engine has logged millions of miles/kilometers of superior performance for operators on four continents," said Roe East, CWI’s President.

The ISL G is available as a factory option from leading bus and truck manufacturers and its ability to operate on compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), or renewable natural gas (RNG) or Biomethane has made it the leading natural gas engine in North America, the company said.

The engines are sold globally in a variety of applications including shuttle and school buses, urban transit, vocational, and medium and heavy-duty truck and tractor applications.
