Here's some information on NatGas power. Customers taking delivery as we speak.

Several other natural-gas engines are in development, and Westport Innovations sells a 15-liter power plant that uses diesel and LNG.

Jim Arthurs, president of Cummins Westport, also was on the panel with the truck makers and said thousands of the 12-liter engines will be sold this year. The company is a joint venture of Cummins Inc., which supplies the basic engines, and Westport Innovations, which adds fuel systems. Last year, the joint venture sold 6,800 9-liter ISL Gs, its only model at the time.

Cummins Westport has landed “serious customers,” including UPS Inc., Werner Enterprises, FedEx Corp., Frito-Lay North America and Wal-Mart Stores, Arthurs said.
