A Kelowna transport company has put one of the first natural gas trucks powered by the Cummins X15N engine into action. Nortrans is using a Kenworth T880 to transport shipments for Gorman Bros. Lumber between Revelstoke and Oroville, Wash., carrying the same heavy payloads as diesel-powered units while producing far fewer emissions. The Kenworth T880 was the result of a project featuring many participants, including Natural Resources Canada, Kenworth and Inland Kenworth, Cummins, Eaton Transmissions, Gorman Bros. Lumber, FortisBC and Clean Energy.“At FortisBC, we have been working to move away from diesel and toward lower carbon fuels such as compressed natural gas,” FortisBC manager Della Bond said. …FortisBC said natural gas vehicles, compared to those powered by diesel, produce up to 95% fewer nitrogen oxides, up to 30% fewer greenhouse gas and virtually no particulate matter.
