Cummins recently added a B6.7 Propane Autogas Engine, designed for medium-duty fleet owners looking to invest in an alternative energy source that provides clean, affordable and reliable benefits have new technology to turn to with the Cummins B6.7 propane engine.
The 6.7-liter displacement engine will be built on the company’s recently announced fuel-agnostic B-series platform and powered with propane Autogas. Backed by data and support from the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), the new engine offers fleets a path to decarbonization without compromising performance or range.
“There is no single path to zero emissions that will work for all application types across all markets and duty cycles. Propane autogas can do its part today in the collective effort toward decarbonization,” said Tucker Perkins, president and CEO of PERC. “Using propane autogas today is an immediate solution toward reducing harmful emissions.”
The new engine will provide fleet owners with diesel-like performance and durability, uptime and low total cost of ownership, with power expected ratings between 280–360 hp and 600–860 lb-ft of torque.
The B6.7 Propane is suited for several applications, including medium-duty truck use, making it a low-emissions solution designed to meet or exceed EPA and CARB regulations in 2024 and beyond.
“We’re confident this engine will deliver the power, performance and efficiency that users expect from Cummins. We also expect it to deliver the lowest CO2 emissions of any propane Autogas-powered engine, making it an attractive and cost-effective way for fleets to lower total transportation emissions,” said Sam Geckler, Technical Project Leader, Cummins.
