Jim Arthurs, President of Cummins Westport, noted that the number and calibre of companies attending the conference demonstrates that natural gas is ‘here and now,’ as he introduced Wednesday's keynote speaker, David Abney, Chief Operating Officer of UPS.
A leader in the adoption of alternative energy vehicles, UPS has already added 1,016 compressed natural gas (CNG) and 812 LNG trucks to its fleet, and natural gas is the focus of its alternative fuel fleet. Much of their current fleet features the Westport 15L engine, and the company is adding another 122 vehicles with the new Cummins Westport ISX12 G engine – one of which was featured in the exhibit hall, along with three Peterbilt trucks featuring Westport and Cummins Westport engines.
