New 'green' engines for Beijing's buses

BEIJING, April.20 (Xinhuanet) -- As Beijing's biggest supplier of natural gas engines for buses, Canada's Cummins Westport Inc will play a role in the city's goal of making the 2008 Olympic Games a green one, the company's Vice-President Philip Hodge told China Daily during a recent stay in Beijing.

The Vancouver-based Cummins Westport signed a deal last month with the Beijing Public Transportation Corporation for 150 engines, bringing the total number of its engines used in Beijing to 2,300, said Hodge.

Beijing's promise of a "Green Olympics" includes a move towards powering 90 per cent of the capital city's 18,000 buses with clean energy by 2008.

"The Beijing Public Transportation Corporation is the biggest customer of Cummins Westport in Asia and China has been our second largest market following the United States," he said.

Founded in 2001, Cummins Westport joined US Cummins and Canadian Westport, to produce natural gas and propane engines with low waste discharge, said company sources.

The Beijing Public Transportation Corporation bought the first batch of 300 natural gas engines from Cummins in 1999.
