I recently saw a demo of Detroit Diesel Company's bus and truck NatGas engine at the Orange County Transportation District.

I asked the man running the demo why this engine would succeed where the Cummins engine only sold 4,000 units in 3 years and was discontinued.
.
He said that this "clean engine" was the first natural gas engine designed from it's inception to run on either CNG or LNG, whereas the Cummins engine was a conversion.

OCTA alone has +/- 800 busses. There must be hundreds of thousands in the entire country. What a plus this would be for gas if it succeeds
