Sterling rolls out natural gas truck

VANCOUVER — Cummins Westport announced that Sterling Trucks has launched the Sterling set-back 113, its first natural gas vehicle, featuring the Cummins Westport ISL G engine.

The Cummins Westport ISL G, an 8.9 liter stoichiometric cooled-exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) engine, offers the lowest emissions available in the industry without sacrificing top-level performance and efficiency.

“By introducing the Set-Back 113 with natural gas, we’re giving our customers a hard-working truck that reduces both costs and environmental emissions,” noted Richard Shearing, manager of Product Strategy for Sterling Truck Corporation.

Guan Saw, president, of CWI added, “This is an opportunity to expand the CWI OEM platform with Sterling, one of North America’s market leading truck manufacturers. The Sterling natural gas trucks will provide a clean, low emission solution for medium-duty applications in short-haul, port operations, as well as natural gas utilities and municipal fleets.”
