    Cummins will bring to market a 15-liter natural gas engine for heavy-duty trucks.

    The engine can be paired with a Cummins Eaton Automated Transmission Technologies Endurant HD Transmission and Cummins Fuel Delivery System, ensuring a purpose-built and fully integrated natural gas powertrain, the company says. Other transmission pairings will be available at launch for specialized applications. The 15-liter engine will offer ratings up to 500 horsepower and 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque, and is expected to weigh 500 pounds less than comparable 15-liter diesel engines currently available on the market while not requiring Selective Catalytic Reduction to meet 2024 California or EPA emission standards.

    Gray truck on a gray day, but a bright driving experience: 2021 Model 567 dump is ready to roll at Ohio Peterbilt. It has very low miles, the right specs for northeastern Ohio, and looks and performs like new. That makes it a compelling argument for buying “used.”
