May 3, 2023. Werner Enterprises, a premier transportation and logistics provider, enhances its sustainability efforts through testing and validating the 2023 X15N Cummins natural gas engine in its fleet. Werner is one of the few carriers that have started testing the newest engine technology with natural gas, with a goal to achieve a 55 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2035.

“As a top five truckload carrier in North America, we are committed to implementing sustainability initiatives creating long-lasting and industry-wide impacts,” said Werner’s Chairman, President and CEO Derek Leathers. “These vehicles can greatly reduce emissions when running renewable natural gas and we are eager and willing to help validate this new technology.”

Renewable natural gas (RNG) is a biogas that comes from a variety of sources, including municipal landfills, water purification facilities and livestock farms, among many other sources, and can be up to seven times cleaner toward carbon emissions than diesel. This technology is built on a global Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) platform by Cummins and will be tested in the market through the Peterbilt Model 579. Cummins anticipates production of the X15N in 2024.
