The Cummins X15N engine is designed to reduce carbon dioxide
(CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions by 90% below current EPA
standards. By operating with RNG, the Food Express truck will have
a net carbon negative rating. The engine is also built with cost
savings in mind, demonstrating up to a 10% fuel economy improvement
compared to the Cummins ISX12N engine, yet providing a power rating
of up to 500 hp and torque up to 1850 lb-ft.
Family-owned Food Express has a long-standing commitment of
operating sustainably. It currently runs a fleet of 88 heavy-duty
trucks that operate on RNG while transporting bulk food commodities
throughout California and the Pacific Northwest.
“The addition of the new truck with Cummins’ latest clean
technology into our fleet falls nicely into our decarbonization
plans,” said Kevin Keeney, President of Food Express. “Having the
power and torque of a larger engine is ideal for many of our
routes, and it is an added benefit for it to operate with an
ultra-low carbon fuel like RNG.”
“The relationship between Food Express and Clean Energy has been
strong since 2015 when they began including natural gas-powered
tractors into their fleet,” said Chad Lindholm, Clean Energy Senior
Vice President. “Food Express quickly transitioned to RNG as it
became available, and continues to demonstrate their leadership in
the transportation sector by being one of a handful of fleets that
are part of the early testing of Cummins latest technology and
their new larger engine.”
RNG is a biogenic fuel made entirely from organic waste and
drastically reduces greenhouse gas emissions. It is so clean that
the California Air Resources Board gives RNG from dairy farms an
average carbon score of -330, which is substantially lower than
electric vehicles charging with electricity on today’s grid.
