The company’s iCE PACK LNG Tank System is an onboard liquefied natural gas (LNG) tank system customized for spark-ignited engines.

The launch of the Cummins Westport ISX12G engine has moved spark-ignited engines into the regional haul segment, making LNG more suitable as a fuel. Westport says the iCE PACK provides increased range, longer hold times and faster fueling times.
