New Cummins Gasoline Engine for Kenworth Medium Duty Trucks Meets All 2027 EPA and CARB Requirements
The Cummins B6.7 Octane engine provides diesel-like performance with 200-300 hp and up to 660 lb ft of torque. “The engine was validated against the same standards as Cummins diesel B6.7 engine,” said Kevin Haygood, Kenworth’s assistant general manager for sales and marketing manager. “With environmental regulations changing, it spurred us to offer another engine option to our customers. The new Cummins B6.7 Octane engine will meet stringent emission regulations, so we expect it to be a popular option in California and other states that have adopted CARB’s standards. It can be a great fit for many of our customers’ applications, especially in P&D, and towing applications. We also see it being popular for the lease and rental markets, as well as for landscapers, where those behind the wheel are used to driving gas-powered vehicles.” The B6.7 Octane engine also simplifies maintenance. “There is no need for DEF and active regens with this engine since Cummins utilizes a 3-way catalyst for emission control. What’s more, body builders will not have a problem with the engine or placement with the fuel tank which will streamline upfits,” said Mr. Haygood. “Some fleets that run Class 5-6 trucks run an all-gasoline fleet and their maintenance facilities are set up for that. By spec’ing the Cummins B6.7 Octane engine, new customers can step into a Kenworth and enjoy all the driver comfort and longevity a Kenworth offers while keeping their operations simplified with a gasoline powerplant.”
