The Cummins Westport ISX12 G heavy-duty natural gas engine will be available as a factory-installed option for the Freightliner 114SD severe-duty truck model in 2015.
The 114SD-ISX12 G combination will be suited for the demanding jobs such as mixer, crane and sewer vac. The 12-liter ISX12 G heavy-duty natural gas engine features ratings of up to 400 hp and 1,450-lb-ft torque, and operates on compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). Factory installed back-of-cab mounted CNG tanks are available in 60 and 75 diesel gallon equivalent (DGE) configurations.
The 114SD has been available with natural gas with the 9-liter Cummins Westport ISL G engine since 2011. With the upcoming availability of the ISX12 G, fleets can get the horsepower and torque ratings they need to meet the toughest applications.
Built on Freightliner’s severe-duty platform and designed for a variety of applications, the 114SD features a chassis engineered for ease of body upfit and is available with a wide range of vocational rear suspensions and frame options up to 4.4-million RBM. It also features a heavy-duty frame, steel-reinforced aluminum cab and flexible specs.
