Gain insight into renewable natural gas’s (RNG) three “Ps” – Product, Price, and Pathway – and how you can upgrade your fleet without disrupting business operations. This session will detail the increasing interest in the RNG-fueled fleet solution for heavy-duty commercial transportation. Speakers include subject matter experts from engine & fuel system manufacturers, fuel providers, and leading fleets operating RNG trucks today. Learn how your fleet can cost-effectively achieve an immediate net-zero outcome by fueling with RNG. Understand the full benefits of RNG trucks and come away with a better understanding of how RNG provides steep carbon emission reductions, low total cost of ownership, and a powerful sustainability story today. 

Background: 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 new X15N Cummins engine – now available in Freightliner, Kenworth, and Peterbilt chassis – meets stringent EPA and CARB regulations for model year 2024. Cummins natural gas engines are up to 90 percent cleaner than EPA’s current NOx emissions requirement.

The new Cummins 15-liter natural gas-powered engine delivers the power and torque needed in the heavy-duty truck market with greater horsepower compared to ISX12N resulting in up to 10% improved fuel 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.
