Here is the answer...

Here is the answer...
... to what Navistar is planning for NG...
"Our sister publication Transport Routier learned that Robert is planning to buy PACCAR trucks equipped with the high-pressure direct injection 15-literWestport GX engine. Based on the Cummins ISX, the GX can deliver up to 450 hp and 1,750 lb-ft of torque.
Westport is the largest LNG maker in North America, but Navistar is also gearing up for an entrance into this market. It is partnering with Clean Air Power to develop the MaxxForce 13 engine to run on both natural gas and clean diesel fuel via the company's 'Dual-Fuel' combustion technology."
On a technology and proprietary basis, I don't think anyone will be able to compete with Westport's GX product unless the Government(s) make them share their technology...
IMHO, it will be very difficult to enter this market because anything that comes along now will be compared to Westport's proven technology.
