“这一代的吴燃料发动机将改变面对卡车。” -现代交通运输,总裁帕特里克Cozzens
现代交通运输,散货物流解决方案,已成功部署的货运服务,欧文斯科宁屋面使用单独供电的12升天然气发动机的卡车厂在乔治亚州。高音量,热忱的服务之间建立桑福德,北卡罗来纳州和乔治亚州萨凡纳,2013年4月18日,据说是有史以来第一次围绕的商业秩序,生产康明斯韦斯特波特内置ISX12的ĝ引擎的推动液化天然气(LNG专用)。
“我们非常激动,说:”帕特里克Cozzens经营第一家生产12升天然气发动机驱动的运输服务,现代交通会长。“随着我们的合作伙伴,这一点和欧文斯科宁谁'开车'的理念,我们致力于为客户提供优质的物流解决方案,在最安全,最环保,最可持续的方式。天然气生产行业的参与者,我们也很高兴和荣幸地利用美国自己的页岩气储量为我们的车队供电。“
这一突破性的卡车燃料的技术和力量强劲的动力,由欧文斯科宁(OC)通过其战略重点放在他们的供应链转变成天然气燃料的解决方案,尽可能迅速。“财富”500强(R)制造商,欧文斯科宁玻璃纤维技术的创新和市场经营一个国家的最大的供应链基础设施。
法团的首席可持续发展官弗兰克·奥布莱恩贝尔尼尼,注意到了这一具有里程碑意义:“当我们努力提高我们的产品的整个生命周期中对环境的影响,我们的挑战大大减少了我们的供应链/物流合作伙伴加入我们入境原料和出境成品的温室气体排放量。现代交通,积极接受了这个挑战,解决问题,并提出可行的转换机会。我们赞赏他们的积极性,柴油天然气转换战略作出贡献。“
现代交通已密切监察NG供电的卡车部门及选择推迟绑天然气供电的货运机会,直到9升发动机的输出前一代改善。帕特里克Cozzens阐述,“普通货运负荷沉重散货运 - 特别是对于高容量移动所需马力,关键任务的制造商们需要安全,可靠和快速响应的服务 - 12升电机的必需品。NG燃料供应基础设施的成熟,我们相信这一代的NG燃料发动机改造货运面对。“
电厂使这项服务成为可能,是康明斯韦斯特波特ISX12ĝ福莱纳的卡斯凯迪亚日驾驶室安装在了。老自治领卡车租赁积极把握这些第一生产经营单位的所有权和租赁他们直接向现代交通。该舰队将推动清洁能源的拉塔,南卡罗来纳站,将完成每个600英里的往返在一个单一的加油
“This generation of NG-fueled engines will transform the face of trucking.” — Patrick Cozzens, president of Modern Transportation
Modern Transportation, a U.S. bulk logistics solutions, has successfully deployed freight service to the Owens Corning Roofing Plant in Savannah, GA using trucks powered solely by 12-liter natural gas-fueled engines. The high volume, dedicated service established between Sanford, NC and Savannah, GA on April 18th, 2013, is said to be the first ever built around commercial-order, production-built Cummins Westport ISX12 G engines fueled exclusively with liquefied natural gas (LNG).
“We’re absolutely thrilled to operate the first production transportation service powered by 12-liter natural gas engines,” said Patrick Cozzens, president of Modern Transportation. “Along with our partners who made this happen and Owens Corning who ‘drove’ the idea, we’re committed to delivering high quality logistics solutions in the safest, greenest and most sustainable fashion. As a participant in the natural gas production industry, we’re also delighted and honored to utilize America’s own shale gas reserves to power our fleet.”
This breakthrough in truck fuel technology and power was given strong impetus by Owens Corning (OC) through their strategic focus on transitioning their supply chain into natural gas-fueled solutions as rapidly as possible. A Fortune 500(R) manufacturer and market innovator in glass-fiber technology, Owens Corning operates one of the nations’ largest supply chain infrastructures.
OC’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Frank O’Brien-Bernini, took note of this milestone: “As we strive to improve the total life cycle environmental impact of our products, we have challenged our supply chain/logistics partners to join us in dramatically reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of our inbound raw materials and outbound finished products. Modern Transportation has proactively embraced this challenge, solving problems and presenting viable conversion opportunities. We applaud their initiative in contributing to our diesel-to-natural gas conversion strategy.”
Modern Transportation has closely monitored the NG-powered truck sector and had opted to defer on freight opportunities tied to natural gas powering until the output from prior generation 9-liter engines was improved upon. Patrick Cozzens elaborated, “The horsepower required to move the freight loads common to heavy bulk trucking – particularly for the high volume, mission-critical manufacturers who demand safe, reliable and responsive service – made the 12-liter motor a necessity. As the NG fuel supply infrastructure matures, we believe this generation of NG-fueled engines will transform the face of trucking.”
The power plant making this service possible is the Cummins Westport ISX12 G installed in Freightliner Cascadia day cabs. Old Dominion Truck Leasing actively pursed ownership of these first production units and leases them directly to Modern Transportation. The fleet will fuel at Clean Energy’s Latta, SC station and will complete each 600-mile round trip on a single fueling.
