Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) for heavy-duty transportation is the most immediate opportunity for fleets to lower total cost of ownership, reduce carbon emissions, and support domestic energy security. Gain insights into how RNG trucks offer diesel-like performance and meet the demands of Class 8 operations including range, power, and reliability
Proven and mature technology: RNG heavy-duty trucks are available now at scale and are already road-tested, certified, and commercially available, and the U.S. has the up & running (and growing) fueling infrastructure required to support it. Freightliner, Kenworth, and Peterbilt all offer trucks equipped with a natural gas powertrain.
Discover how RNG is reshaping heavy-duty transportation. This session will spotlight the rapid growth of RNG as a net-zero—or even carbon-negative—fuel and unveil innovative product offerings that are advancing sustainable solutions across the heavy-duty fleet sector. Hear directly from industry leaders—including engine and fuel system manufacturers, fuel providers, and fleet operators. Join our panel of experts and industry leaders to learn how your fleet can cost-effectively achieve immediate net-zero emissions without compromise.
Compliant Pathway: Increased use of RNG as a transportation fuel provides immediate and significant criteria and toxic air pollutant reductions. Commercially available, heavy-duty engines powered by RNG already outperform future emissions regulations.
The Cummins 15-liter natural gas-powered engine delivers diesel-like performance with greater horsepower compared to ISX12N resulting in 10% improved efficiency. This engine is a Game Changer for the hard to decarbonize Class 8 heavy-duty long-haul sector. When fueled with RNG (biomethane captured from landfills and dairy farms), the 15-liter natural gas engine achieves even greater CO2 and greenhouse gas benefits of up to 300% lower than diesel. Fueling with RNG is carbon-neutral, even carbon-negative, depending on the RNG source. Currently and for decades to come, there is no better commercially available and deployable alternative fuel option for the heavy-duty sector.
