Cummins Westport Engine Architecture
Cummins Westport natural gas engines feature spark ignition with Stoichiometric / EGR combustion (SEGR)
This combustion technology was introduced in 2007 with the ISL G, the first heavy duty engine to meet the EPA 2010
standards (0.2 g/bhp-hr NOx, 0.1 g/bhp-hr PM)
SEGR Technology is capable of lower emissions, particularly NOx
Cummins Westport engines are factory built, dedicated natural gas engines that are based on Cummins diesel engine
platforms with over 80% parts commonality

Commercialization
Great momentum for NZ NGVs in North America
– Product quality up, costs down, infrastructure growing, vehicle range up
– NG is abundant, stable, clean, domestic fuel
– Broad vehicle availability across OEMs and vehicles including transit
buses, school buses, refuse, vocational and on-highway trucks
Near Zero technology designed to be easy to install on existing
NGVs… Repowers and OEM first fit ramping up
Small incremental NGV cost increase
– Lower cost option than other near zero emission technologies under
development (eg. EV, Hybrid, H2)
Technology is ready now

Use Cummins Authorized parts
Follow Cummins maintenance intervals and procedures outlined on QuickServe Online
– Interval is determined by hours, miles or time, which ever comes first
– For transit bus, the default interval is hours
– Set service intervals based on average fleet speed
Replace spark plugs and check ignition coils every 1500 hours.
– Ignition components and the overhead set have not been tested for operation beyond the distance limits given.
Perform Initial Overhead Valve adjustment at 1,000 hours
Check air intake every 250 hours, and use only OEM approved air filters
Daily - check/drain fuel filter and visually check coolant level
