The Leading Natural Gas Engine - Lower Emissions, Improved Performance, Lower Costs!
 Dependable, durable Cummins diesel and natural gas engines are becoming a bigger part of this business, every day. Currently, the ISL G and ISX12 G engines are the natural choice in alternative-fuel engine technology. With industry-leading performance and first-fit OEM availability, it combines all the advantages of clean burning, low-cost natural gas with the power and torque needed for shuttle and school bus, urban transit, vocational and medium-duty truck and tractor applications.
In 2016, Cummins will introduce a new dedicated natural gas engine for transit, shuttle and school bus, medium-duty truck, and vocational vehicle markets. The ISB6.7 G features the same advanced combustion controls with Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) as the ISL G & ISX12 G engines. It operates on 100 percent natural gas (CNG or LNG). It can also run on 100 percent bio methane or renewable natural gas, which meets published Cummins fuel specifications.
The ISB6.7 G, ISL G and ISX12 G engines meet current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (ARB) emissions standards, as well as EPA greenhouse gas (GHG) and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) fuel-consumption regulations.
