Penske Truck Leasing today said Tuesday it has ordered 100 compressed natural gas Freightliner Cascadia tractors equipped with Cummins Westport 12-liter engines.

The trucks will be used by Penske’s full-service truck leasing and commercial-truck rental customers at locations across the United States.

“Many full-service truck leasing customers continue to evaluate using natural gas vehicles within their truck fleets, while others are quickly adopting [their] use to meet their sustainability goals,” said Art Vallely, Penske Truck Leasing’s executive vice president of operations.

“We’re encouraged by the interest we are seeing from customers with regard to [natural-gas vehicles], and we are fully capable of assisting any fleet with their natural gas-powered truck needs,” he said in a statement.

Penske, which is exhibiting at this week’s ACT Expo in Washington, estimates that by year’s end it will have more than 200 natural-gas tractors within its fleet for use by its full-service truck leasing customers and commercial-truck rental customers.
