Cummins Westport Inc. has announced that the City of Long Beach, CA, has placed an order for 17 Cummins Westport C Gas Plus low-emissions natural gas engines for use in refuse collection trucks.
The 280-horsepower C Gas Plus engines will be installed in Sterling Condor automatic side-loading refuse collection trucks. They are scheduled for delivery starting in April 2003.
