CR&R purchased Peterbilt Model 320 refuse collection vehicles. Twenty of the vehicles are equipped with the Cumminsm C8.3G 275 hp dedicated LNG engine; ten (10) vehicles are equipped with the Cummins L Gas Plus LNG engine.
CR&R purchased thirty (30) liquefied natural gas (LNG) refuse collection trucks to augment their alternative fuel vehicle fleet at their San Juan Capistano operations base.
CR&R initially experienced technical issues with the LNG engine and fuel system; while some issues remain the majority of problems experienced have been resolved by the engine manufacturer. CR&R does experience equipment breakdowns that require the removal of a vehicle from service; however, this is not unique to CR&R or LNG trucks.
The thirty new LNG refuse collection trucks have been placed and are successfully operating in revenue service. The CR&R maintenance team now has nearly five years of experience operating LNG vehicles. According to CR&R, the addition of new LNG vehicles to the San Juan Capistano fleet is now considered routine.
