Cummins Westport Inc. (CWI) has received an order for 450 B-series CNG engines for transit service in Beijing.

The engines will be delivered this year, and will be locally manufactured in China by Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company Ltd. (DCEC) located in Xiangfan, China. Beijing Public Transport (BPT) currently operates more than 2,200 CWI engines in its transit fleet.

This order represents the single largest order since CWI established a direct presence in China, and is the first major sale of its high-performance, low-emissions B-series engine in China.
