Cummins Westport Inc. has received two orders for a total of 108 low-emissions natural gas bus engines for Southern California.

The orders, for C8.3G Plus engines, involve the transit agencies for San Diego and San Bernardino. The engines will be installed in new transit buses manufactured by New Flyer of America of Crookston, Minnesota.
Production of the C8.3G Plus began in June by Cummins Inc. as an advanced replacement for the C8.3G engine, which Cummins has produced since 1996. The C8.3G Plus was certified as a low-emissions engine by California regulators in July. It is designed for buses and trucks and can operate with either compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). The San Diego and San Bernardino orders will use CNG.
