西港ISX12ĝ康明斯发动机肯沃斯T660

提供生物柴油市场使用压缩天然气（CNG）为动力的卡车，是一个时代的标志。奥克拉荷马州的的高平原生物能源，海岸食品的全资附属公司，从猪肉脂肪生产生物柴油。该公司现在使用两个肯沃斯T660天康明斯新西港ISX12 G重责任天然气发动机驱动的运输从工厂到客户区域的生物柴油生物柴油的出租车。

此外，沿海地区食品现场生产作业将放置43肯沃斯T800短罩一天出租车，也通电的康明斯西港ISX12ĝ发动机，投产拖活的动物从农场到该公司的猪肉处理厂和饲料的饲料磨其农场的操作。海岸的带电作业运输每年超过4亿美元的市场生猪从农场旅游Guymon，俄克拉何马州，猪肉加工厂。

海岸食品公司总裁兼首席执行官霍顿，“特里说，”我们看到一个很好的机会，让我们进一步致力于可持续发展和环境管理，增加CNG动力肯沃斯卡车。“有一个12升的天然气发动机真的可以使我们的操作运行压缩天然气为动力的卡车，因为它提供了我们的卡车进行负载适量的功率和扭矩。”

康明斯西港的ISX12ĝ引擎需要一个单一的燃料来源，并可以运行在无论是CNG或LNG（液化天然气），这两者都是成本效益，低碳，低排放的燃料。天然气发动机采用了免维护，三元催化剂，并且不需要柴油车尾气流体罐（DEF），柴油颗粒过滤器（DPF）或选择性催化还原（SCR）技术。肯沃斯目前提供的ISX12 G的肯沃斯T660和T800短罩（116.5英寸BBC）。也可应用更加广泛肯沃斯T800标准与西港（TM）15L HPDI技术天然气发动机罩（122.5英寸BBC）。

“我们过去的经验，我们的柴油动力肯沃斯卡车的耐久性和可靠性，这些天然气动力Kenworths，几年来，为我们提供了信心，”霍顿说。“我们的经验的服务从肯沃斯经销商也说服我们买天然气供电Kenworths。”

CNG动力卡车将推动两个新的专用天然气加气站，该公司已建成并靠近其生物柴油厂在俄克拉何马行乞。

“与右spec'ing选择，许多运营商，如海岸有可能，实现燃料​​成本和排放量显着减少，尤其是如果他们更换旧柴油车以天然气为燃料的新肯沃斯卡车，”安迪说，道格拉斯，肯沃斯为专业市场的全国销售经理。

近日，柴油在美国的平均成本为每加仑4美元以下，根据美国能源信息管理局。柴油每加仑相当于CNG在美国的平均价格几乎是少1美元。

“新康明斯西港的ISX12ĝ引擎还提供了更好的操作适合于很多运营商，如沿海地区，因为它提供了额外的功率高达80马力和450磅的额外扭矩峰值额定值的8.9升康明斯西港ISL G发动机，“道格拉斯说。

Delivering biodiesel to market using compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered trucks is a sign of the times. Oklahoma-based High Plains Bioenergy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seaboard Foods, produces biodiesel from pork fat. The company now uses two Kenworth T660 day cabs powered by the new Cummins Westport ISX12 G heavy-duty natural gas engine to transport the biodiesel from the plant to regional biodiesel customers.

In addition, Seaboard Foods Live Production Operations will be placing 43 Kenworth T800 short hood day cabs, also powered by the Cummins Westport ISX12 G engine, into operation hauling live animals from the farms to the company’s pork processing plant and animal feed from its feed mill operations to its farms. Seaboard’s live operations transport more than 4 million market hogs annually from its farms to its Guymon, Okla., pork processing plant.

“We see adding CNG-powered Kenworth trucks as a great opportunity to further our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship,” said Terry Holton, president and CEO of Seaboard Foods. “The availability of a 12-liter natural gas engine really makes it possible for our operation to run CNG-powered trucks because it provides the right amount of power and torque for the loads our trucks carry.”

The Cummins Westport ISX12 G engine requires a single fuel source and can run on either CNG or LNG (liquefied natural gas), both of which are cost effective, low carbon and low emissions fuels. The natural gas engine uses a maintenance-free, three-way catalyst and does not require a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank, diesel particulate filter (DPF) or selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. Kenworth currently offers the ISX12 G for the Kenworth T660 and T800 short hood (116.5-inch BBC). Also available for heavier applications is Kenworth’s T800 standard hood (122.5-inch BBC) with the Westport(TM) 15L HPDI technology natural gas engine.

“Our past experience with our diesel-powered Kenworth trucks offers us confidence in the durability and reliability of these natural gas-powered Kenworths in the years to come,” Holton said. “Our experience with the service from our Kenworth dealers also convinced us to buy the natural gas-powered Kenworths.”

The CNG-powered trucks will be fueled using two new dedicated natural gas fueling stations that the company has built and located near its biodiesel plant in the Oklahoma Panhandle.

“With the right spec’ing choices, many operators like Seaboard have the potential to realize significant reductions in fuel costs and emissions, particularly if they’re replacing older diesel trucks with new Kenworth trucks powered by natural gas,” said Andy Douglas, Kenworth national sales manager for specialty markets.

Recently, the average cost of diesel fuel in the United States was just under $4 per gallon, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The average price of a diesel gallon equivalent of CNG in the United States is nearly $1 less.

“The new Cummins Westport ISX12 G engine also provides a better operational fit for many operators, such as Seaboard, because it provides as much as 80 hp of additional power and 450 pounds of additional torque compared to the peak rating of the 8.9-liter Cummins Westport ISL G engine,” said Douglas.
