Walmart Teams With Cummins, Chevron to Put 15-Liter Renewable Natural Gas Engine on Road
Walmart Inc. on Tuesday said it is rolling out its first heavy-duty truck powered by a 15-liter natural-gas engine, making it the first of its kind to hit the road in North America.
The Bentonville, Ark., retail giant said the truck, the first of five it is incorporating into its private fleet, has an X15N engine supplied by Cummins Inc. It will be fueled by Chevron Corp. with compressed natural gas linked to renewable natural gas, which is produced when biomethane from decomposing organic matter is captured, treated and placed into the network.
