are:
Engine Availability: In June 2007, the ISL G engine was launched in the North American market and is certified to U.S. EPA 2010 & CARB emissions levels (0.2g/bhp-hr NOx). Available in ratings from 250 to 320 hp, it combines Cummins proven Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology with a Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) to offer improved efficiency and lower costs. As ratings are released, the ISL G engine will replace the L Gas Plus and C Gas Plus engines. The C Gas Plus and L Gas Plus engines will be phased out of North America as comparable ISL G ratings are released through 2007. The 2007 U.S. EPA certified B Gas Plus and B LPG Plus engines will continue to be available. For Euro-certified markets, the EURO 5 / EEV (Environmentally Enhanced Vehicle) certified ISL G will be introduced in the first quarter of 2008. The C Gas Plus engine certified to EURO 3 and EURO 4, the B Gas Plus engine certified to EURO 5 / EEV, and the B Gas International engine certified to EURO 3 will continue to be available in 2007 and beyond. L Gas Plus — The 320 horsepower L Gas Plus features a variable geometry turbocharger that provides excellent low-end torque and transient response. Its state-of-the-art electronic control module (ECM) also works with the Cummins INSITE™ and QuickCheck diagnostic tools for fast troubleshooting. Customers pick the L Gas Plus for heavy refuse trucks, dump and medium-duty trucks, heavy transit applications and articulated buses. With the release of the ISL G, the L Gas Plus engine is no longer available for new installations. C Gas Plus — Introduced with the third generation “Plus” control system in June 2001, the 250-280 horsepower C Gas Plus is ideal for medium-duty truck and refuse truck applications, as well as urban and transit bus applications. The C Gas Plus engine will be replaced in North American markets as ratings are released for the new ISL G engine. B Gas Plus — Introduced in 2002, and also featuring the “Plus” system drive by wire and enhanced controls and electronics, the B Gas Plus with 195 - 230 horsepower offers excellent performance and reliability in medium-duty applications such as shuttles, buses, pickup and delivery trucks, step vans, yard spotters, and street sweepers. B LPG Plus — This advanced version of the original B 5.9 LPG engine was introduced in May 2003, delivers 195 horsepower and features improved controls, electronics, and reliability. The B LPG Plus is a great match for shuttles, buses, local pickup and delivery trucks, step vans, yard spotters, recycling trucks, and street sweepers. B Gas International — This engine replaces the original B5.9G engine and is offered with ratings from 150 to 230 horsepower. It features many of the improvements found in the B Gas Plus. The B Gas International has been designed for local assembly in both China and India, to provide a low cost, high quality natural gas engine in these emerging markets.
