Executive Summary
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contracted with FEV, Inc. to
determine the incremental delta costs for a CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) fuel system,
including the differences in the engine components, the fuel system components and the exhaust
system components as compared to the standard Diesel fuel system and its system components in
a Class 8 truck.
The standard Diesel system has been the mainstay in the trucking transportation industry for
many years. However, the CNG system is a progressive alternative to achieving future fuel
economy requirements as it is a cleaner burning fuel which significantly reduces carbon and
particulate emissions during vehicle operation when compared to a gasoline or Diesel vehicle
equivalent.
The Energy Collective group published an article entitled 'A New Debate Emerges: LNG or
CNG for the Long Haul' on July 16, 2013 which discusses the CNG alternative in depth. The
following excerpts from that article provide a strong supporting opinion for CNG as an
alternative to traditional Diesel fuel.
'Compressed natural gas (CNG) is the mostly likely choice for any return-to-base, short mileage
vehicles, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the option for long-haul on-highway Class 8 trucks.
The reasoning behind this is inherent to gaseous rather than liquid fuel (energy density, tank
storage capacity, re-fueling time). CNG and LNG are both proven forms of natural gas storage,
with distinct advantages over Diesel and gasoline when used as a transportation fuel. To produce
CNG, natural gas is taken directly out of the United States' expansive network of natural gas
pipelines, whereas LNG must be cryogenically liquefied to -260 degrees F (to become a liquid)
this adds more expense the product.
CNG is compressed immediately and enters a truck in a process that is almost identical to
traditional fueling. On the other hand, LNG requires drivers to wear a mask and gloves to protect
themselves against cryogenic burns.
Compared to CNG, LNG contains 2.4 times more energy per Diesel gallon equivalent (DGE).
Since LNG, like Diesel and gasoline, is a liquid, one could achieve comparable refueling speed,
whereas the level of compression required to "fast-fill" with CNG is very high (-3,600 psi). As a
result, for the long-haul trucking sector, the energy density and associated cost(s), weight and
on-board storage capacity of LNG have long been viewed as the more attractive, viable option
for long hauling. '^
For the FEV study, both the CNG (new) and the standard Diesel (baseline) technologies were
evaluated and compared for the Class 8 truck. The specific systems reviewed by FEV were the
Cummins ISXG11.9 liter CNG spark plug ignition engine and the ISX11.9 liter compression
ignited Diesel engine. The study precisely identified and included all engine components which
were different between the two.
The engines used for both the CNG new technology configuration (i.e., CNG vehicle system) and

the Diesel baseline (i.e., conventional vehicle system) utilized the same size family engine. The
engine blocks were identical but the heads were slightly different. The main engine hardware
difference included the CNG spark ignited engine with an ignition control module for the ignition
coils as opposed to the conventional compression Diesel ignition with an injector system.
The fuel systems proved to be the primary difference between the two technologies. The fuel
system comparison for the Diesel and the CNG engines included the diesel side mounted fuel
tanks that store liquid diesel fuel versus the enclosed rear mounted CNG tanks and all associated
equipment. The use of CNG requires no fuel pump or primer system but does require a fuel
control module with pressure regulator valves. The CNG system also requires high pressure
storage tanks, mounted on the back, top or side rail of the truck depending on the application and
distance needed for the truck to travel. In some cases, two or more of the CNG configurations can
be used together to meet long distance requirements.
The exhaust systems for both the Diesel and CNG systems were also evaluated. The Diesel fuel
system has a SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system with urea dosing unit for After-
treatment of the diesel exhaust. The CNG exhaust system does not require the SCR unit as it is
similar to a gas engine exhaust system with a 3-way catalyst.
This study considered Class 8 vehicles for local and day time runs only. Long haul trucks have
more requirements and additional needs when running a CNG system. Additionally, the study is
based on the use of CNG fuel and only references LNG Fuel, although the Cummins ISX12G can
use either CNG or LNG fuel.
The delta cost evaluation was done at the component level through the full assembly, excluding
any parts that were the same for both systems. Identical parts were not evaluated or added into the
cost structure.
The overall cost differences of CNG as compared to the Diesel at a system level are shown
below.

1. Introduction and Program Objectives
1.1 Objectives
The objective of this work assignment was to determine the incremental direct manufacturing
delta costs for the CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) fuel system, including the differences in the
engine components, the fuel system components and the exhaust system components as compared
to the standard Diesel fuel system and system components in the Class 8 truck configuration. The
study used the costing methodology, existing databases, and supporting worksheets developed in
the previously concluded EPA study: Light-Duty Technology Cost Analysis [EP-C-12-014, WA
1-9].
1.2 Study Methodology
The costing methodology was heavily based on teardowns of both new and baseline technology
configurations with similar driver performance metrics. Only components identified as being
different within the selected CNG (new) and the standard Diesel (baseline) configurations were
evaluated for cost.
All component costs were calculated using a ground-up costing methodology analogous to that
employed in the automotive industry. All incremental costs for the new technology were
calculated and presented using transparent cost models consisting of eight core cost elements:
^r
• Material
• Labor
• Manufacturing Overhead/Burden
• End Item Scrap
• SG&A (Selling General and Administrative)
• Profit
• ED&T (Engineering, Design, and Testing)
• Packaging.
1.3 Manufacturing Assumptions
When conducting the cost analysis for the various technology configurations, a number of
assumptions were made in order to establish a consistent framework for all costing. The
assumptions can be broken into universal and specific case study assumptions.
• The universal assumptions applied to all technology configurations under analysis.
• The fundamental assumptions used are listed in Table 1-1.
• The specific case study assumptions were those unique to a given technology configuration
and included volume assumptions, weekly operation assumptions (days, shifts, hours, etc.),
packaging assumptions, and Tier 1 in-house manufacturing versus Tier 2/3 purchase part
assumptions.

Universal Case Study Assumptions
A.Net Incremental Direct manufacturing cost is the incremental
difference in cost of components and assembly, to the OEM, between
the new technology configuration (i.e., mass-reduced
components/assemblies) and the baseline technology configuration
(i.e., the production stock Chevrolet Silverado
components/assemblies).
This value does not include Indirect OEM costs associated with
adopting the new technology configuration (e.g. tooling, corporate
overhead, corporate R&D, etc.).
A. Indirect Costs are handled through the application of "Indirect
Cost Multipliers" (ICMs) which are not included as part of this
analysis. The ICM covers items such as
a. OEM corporate overhead (sales, marketing, warranty, etc.)
b. OEM engineering, design and testing costs (internal & external)
c. OEM owned tooling
B. Reference EPA report EPA-420-R-09-003, February 2009,
Automobile Industry Retail Price Equivalent and Indirect Cost
Multiplier" for additional details on the develop and application of
ICM factors.
C. Reference EPA and NHTSA Joint Final Rule "2017 and Later
Model Year Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions and
Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards", Federal Register /
Vol. 77, No. 199/Monday, October 15, 2012/Rules and
Regulations (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-10-15/pdf/2012-
21972.pdf) for additional details on the develop and application of
ICM and learning factors.
A. Incremental Production Tooling cost is the differential cost of
tooling to the OEM, between tooling up the new technology
configuration (i.e., mass-reduced components/assemblies) versus the
baseline technology configuration (i.e., the production stock
Silverado components/assemblies).
B. Analysis assumes all tooling is owed by OEM
C. Tooling includes items like stamping dies, plastic injection mold,
die casting molds, weld fixtures, assembly fixtures, gauges, etc.
A. Mature technology assumption, as defined within this analysis,
includes the following:
a. Well developed product design
b. High production volume (+450K/year)
c. Products in service for several years at high volumes
c. Significant market place competition
B. Mature Technology assumption establishes a consistent framework
for costing. For example, a defined range of acceptable mark-up
rates.
a. End-item-scrap 0.3-0.7%
b. SG&A/Corporate Overhead 6-7%
c. Profit 4-8%
d. ED&T (Engineering, Design and Testing) 0-6%
C. The technology maturity assumption does not include allowances
for product learning. Application of a learning curve to the
calculated incremental direct manufacturing cost is handled outside
the scope of this analysis.

achieve similar function and performance metrics would be
available minimizing any IP cost penalty.

b. Parts homologated .• validated .•' certified for various worldwide
markets
No consideration was given to derivative models. Both the
baseline and mass-reduced technology configurations were treated
the same.
a. 2 wheel, 4 wheel or all wheel drive applications
b. Various engine transmission options with models
c. Various towing 1 loading ••' carrying capacities
Only incorporated on those components where it was evident that
the component design and'or selected manufacturing process was
chosen due to actual low production volumes (e.g. design choice
made to accept high piece price to minimize tooling expense).
Under this scenario, assumptions where made, and cost analyzed
assuming high production volumes.
No new, or modified, maintenance or end-of-life costs, were
identified in the analysis.
No stranded capital or non-recovered ED&T expenses were
considered within the scope of this analysis. It w:as assumed the
integration of new technology would be planned and phased in
minimizing non-recoverable expenses.

1.4 Cost File Structure
Normal Cost File Structure
In previous EPA studies, the team used a design BOM approach, in which an engine for example,
would be broken out into systems which included specific subsystems and parts. For costing
purposes, FEV normally used existing databases that had been used in previous EPA powertrain
studies as shown in the following list.
• Material, Labor, Markup and Machine Overhead databases.
• Summary Sheets used for Upper level costing.
• VCMAT (Vehicle Cost Model Analysis Templates) used for vehicle level cost deltas
between new and old technologies.
• SCMAT (System Cost Model Analysis Templates) used for system rollups, this template
is also used for subsystem - SSCMAT and sub-subsystems - SSSCMAT.
• MAQS (Manufacturing Assumption Quote Summaries) used for assembly, and
component detail costing.
• CBOM (Cost Bills of Materials) Used for compiling systems, subsystems, sub-
subsystems, assemblies and components weights, part numbers, quantities, and picture
numbers to be costed.
Unique Cost File Structure
However, the cost file structure for this study is unique and falls outside the normal parameters of
previous studies. For this study, all systems, subsystems and sub-subsystems were identified by
the Cummins (Quick-serve) Parts website which uses a product build BOM approach.
Cummins product build BOM method combines some assemblies and components that would
have been separated in the design approach. Using the Cummins web site and their exploded
views for the parts break down, each system/subsystem/sub-subsystem etc. was loaded into the
FEV BOM template for identification and costing purposes.

Once the sub-subsystems were identified in the FEV BOM template, they were further broken
down to the assembly level by FEV. Using the expanded parts view above, individual assemblies
were broken out as shown in the example below.

Costing Level Identification:
Once all the parts were identified, the costs could be broken down into the system, subsystems,
and sub-subsystem, assembly and component levels.
Level 1. System: The first set of digits describes the system / vehicle level - Example 01 is
the Diesel system (Base technology) & CNG (new technology) comparisons.
Level 2. Subsystem: The second set of digits describes the subsystem level - Example 01-
01 would identify the 01 CNG/Diesel systems and the 01-01 Cylinder block
subsystem.
Level 3. Sub-subsystem: The third set of digits describes the sub-subsystem level -
Example 01-01-01 would identify the 01 CNG/Diesel systems, the 01-01 Cylinder
block subsystem and the 01-01-05 Cyl block plumbing sub-subsystem.
Level 4. Assembly: The fourth set of digits describes the assembly level - Example 01-01-

1.5 Case Study Hardware Evaluated
For the CNG/Diesel analysis, the Cummins quick serve online web site was used to evaluate the
differences between the two internal combustion engines:
• The Cummins ISXG11.9 liter CNG spark plug ignition
• The ISX11.9 liter compression ignited Diesel engine
The team used an International Class 8 Diesel truck onsite at FEV for the Diesel fuel tanks, After-
treatment system and all associated hardware evaluation. The team then used a combination of
quoting models developed by FEV and reference quotes from Mainstay Fuel Technologies® for
quoting the CNG storage tanks and fuel module system with all the associated hardware.
22
-------
FEW CNG Class 8
In reviewing the two engines, there were some accessory differences that were not related to this
study and therefore were not quoted.
In any questionable cases, published service and internet documentation was used to support the
team's assumptions on the differences between the two technology configurations.
1.6 Case Study Discussion and Result Layout
Results for the CNG/Diesel comparison are provided within each report section. Discussion
topics include:
• Technology: A brief description of the technology under comparison is discussed.
• Key Hardware Overview: A high level overview of key hardware content is included for
the technology evaluated.
• Manufacturing Cost Impact: The increment direct manufacturing cost impact is
generally summarized at a subsystem and/or system level Cost Model Analysis Template
(CMAT). For subsystems and systems in which there were both CNG and Diesel
technology costs, the Diesel technology costs are subtracted from the CNG technology
costs developing the incremental direct manufacturing cost. In subsystem and systems
where there are no Diesel costs (i.e., credits to offset CNG technology costs), the CNG
technology direct manufacturing costs are the incremental direct manufacturing costs.
Because a case study consists of a large quantity of component and assembly Manufacturing and
Assumption Quote Summary (MAQS) worksheets, hard copies were not included as part of this
report. However, electronic copies of the MAQS worksheets, as well as all other supporting case
study documents (e.g., Subsystem CMATs, System CMATs), can be accessed at
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/climate/publications.htm.
2. CNG/Diesel Cost Analysis
2.1 Vehicle & Cost Summary Overview
Both the Diesel baseline (i.e., conventional vehicle system) and CNG new technology
configuration (i.e., CNG vehicle system) utilized the same size family engine. The engine blocks
are identical but the heads were slightly different. The main engine hardware differences include
the CNG spark ignited engine technology as opposed to the conventional compression Diesel
ignition and the new CNG technology added an ignition control module to the CNG engine for
the ignition coils which replaced the Diesel engines injector system.
The fuel systems are the main difference between the two engines, as CNG requires no fuel pump
or primer system but does require a fuel control module with pressure regulator valves.
3. CNG Vehicle Hardware Overview

CNG Class 8
(CNG) as an alternative to other fossil fuels. CNG is a cleaner burning fuel, significantly reducing
reducing carbon and particulate emissions during vehicle operation when compared to a gasoline
or Diesel vehicle equivalent.
The two common types of natural gas used today are CNG (compressed natural gas) and LNG
(Liquefied natural gas). For this study CNG was used.
Figure 3-1 provides an overview of the typical CNG gas supply. CNG is piped in direct from the
local utility company, then through a dryer to the compressor and is then stored on site. This
allows for easy fill from the tank directly into the vehicle.
Note: Fast Fill stations require storage for the compressed natural gas while Slow Fill overnight
systems do not require storage systems.

The fuel tanks are another area where big differences are apparent. The CNG system requires
high pressure storage tanks, sometimes mounted on the back, top or side rail depending on the
application and distance needed for the truck to travel. In some cases, two or more of the
configurations can be used on the same vehicle to meet long distance requirements.
The Diesel systems have side mounted tanks that store liquid Diesel fuel. The Diesel fuel system
also has an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system with urea unit for After-treatment of the
Diesel exhausts and will be further discussed in the Diesel section. The CNG systems do not
require the SCR unit.
The exhaust system also has some differences due to the CNG not requiring a SCR to reduce
oxides of nitrogen emitted from engines. The CNG system uses a catalytic converter system.
The differences in the engines, fuel systems and exhaust will be examined in detailed in their
respective sections.
An overview of the CNG system is shown in .

Figure 3-3 overviews the spark plug coil. Putting ignition coils directly over each spark plug
eliminates the need for high voltage spark plug cables. The use of Coil on Plug systems also
provides additional benefits, such as packaging, emissions, performance, and maintenance.
Using separate coils for each cylinder gives each coil more time to recharge between firings
which lead to fewer misfires, greater fuel economy and cleaner combustion.

study CNG will be used. The CNG systems offer a low emissions alterative to the Diesel engine

The CNG system tank and enclosures can be different configurations depending on the needs and
usage of the system. This study focuses on Class 8 vehicles which can use a variety of tank
systems. Some vehicles use tanks made of steel and mounted to the top while others use side
saddle mounted tanks in place of the standard Diesel tank, but the most widely used system for
long hauling is the behind cab mounted tanks and enclosure.
In addition to the various cab mounts, some companies are looking at putting the tanks on the
trailer and not the cab. Figure 3-5 shows some of the CNG tank configurations.

Using gases instead of liquids for vehicles is not a new concept. During World War I and
especially during World War II, liquid gases were very hard to obtain so inventive solutions were
required. One of them was gas bag vehicles. Countries like England, France, Germany, and the
Netherlands used what was known as "town gas" or "street gas" on cars, trucks and buses. This
gas was made from a by-product left over from the process of turning coal into coke which was
used to make iron. The result was a non-compressed gas that could be filled at street side fueling
stations. Figure 3-6 shows some of the cars, trucks, and buses of the day and a fueling station.

3.2 CNG Fuel Tank Overview
There are four types of CNG fuel tanks typically used today as shown in Figure 3-7. This is due
to the various application usages and the weight of the tank. The tank size can also be a usage
factor due to the space restrictions or mileage requirements.
The one piece A6061 aluminum liner with a full carbon and or fiberglass wrap is one of the most
common tanks in use today.

The construction of the four types of tanks varies as much as the tanks themselves. The tanks life
span is also a factor as tanks produced after 2007 have a 20 year life span and anything before
2007 is only 15 years.

A 120 gallon Diesel tank contains approximately 112.89 useable gallons of fuel. This is
a .059322% reduction of fuel to the total tank capacity. The Diesel system average is about 6
miles per gallon of Diesel fuel.
For this study, a type 3 tank was used and is rated for 3600psi and tested at 5500psi.
To get equal mileage from a CNG system when compared to a Diesel fuel system, the CNG
required five fuel tanks as opposed to two 120 gallon Diesel fuel tanks. Table 3-1 shows the
capacity and usability assumptions.

* DGEfor the CNG fuel -was provided from the tank manufacturer for the 25 " x SO " CNG tank.
• GGE - Gasoline Gallon Equivalent (aka: GEG - Gasoline Equivalent Gallon) is the
amount of alternative fuel it takes to equal the energy content of one liquid gallon of
standard gasoline. 1 GGE = 0.88 DGE
• DGE - Diesel Gallon Equivalent is the amount of alternative fuel it takes to equal the
energy content of one liquid gallon of Diesel gasoline. Diesel has a higher energy content
than gasoline (129,500 BTUs standard). 1 DGE equals 1.136 GGE.
• Calculation - To calculate the gallons of DGEs (diesel) in any quantity of GGE (CNG),
divide the total GGE by 0.88. For example, 200 GGE would equal 227.272 DGE.
The CNG tanks are piped together inside the enclosure through a piping system to a main header
as shown in Figure 3-10. This allows the system to achieve a better fill time.

Tanks can be filled in two ways as shown in the following illustrations:
• Fast: Typically fills a 125 DGE (Diesel gallon equivalent) tank system in about 10
minutes, but as the gas is pumped into the tank the temperature increases making the gas
expand. This pressure buildup reduces the amount of fuel that can be put into a tank
during a fast fill. The loss is about 25%, as compared to a slow fill process.
Fast fill configurations require a compressor to store the CNG at pressures up to SOOOpsi
in a properly rated storage tank. (In the following Fast Fill illustration, the storage tanks
can be seen in the left background.) Fast-fill stations are more like regular gas stations, in
that fuel is dispensed into the fuel tanks the same as if regular gas were being used and it
takes about the same amount of time. Typically there is a conventional dispensing unit
similar to a standard gas station with a card reader for dispensing and paying transactions.

Slow: Typically an overnight process also known as a Time Fill, the slow fill method will
allow more CNG fuel to be dispensed into the tanks without the pressure buildup. The
slow fill system can be configured to dispense the required amount of fuel within a
specific period of time or the vehicle can be hooked to the overnight fueling station and
allowed to fill at the standard dispensing rate with no human attendance required.

With the current national average cost of $2.11 per DGE for CNG fuel and the current national
average cost of Diesel fuel at $3.89 per gallon, CNG is 54% cheaper in cost. The cost savings is
significant when spread over 200 gallons and will save approximately $356.00 ^ as shown in

For safety, each tank has a temperature and pressure relief valve and a manual safety shut off.
Depending on the manufacturer, there are two possible configurations for these safety
mechanisms. Either setup is acceptable.
• The tank may have both the safety shut off and temperature and pressure relief valve
combined on one end of the tank.
• The tank may have the safety shut off on one side and the temperature and pressure relief
valve on the other.
A CNG Shutoff & Pressure/Temperature Valve is illustrated in Figure 3-13.

The CNG system in this study used five type 3 tanks that were 635 mm dia. x 2032 mm Ig. each.
Each tank supplied the equivalent of 40.6 Diesel gallons of fuel and weighed 187 kg empty and

3.4 CNG Fuel Module Overview
The CNG fuel system includes a CNG fuel management module which controls all aspects of the
CNG fuel system, including fill, defuel, high/low pressure and monitoring.
The module consists of:
• Coated steel enclosure with product schematic and warning labels
• Large fast fill receptacle
• High and low pressure gages
- 2-way emergency shut-off ball valve
36
-------
CNG Class 8
- Defueling receptacle
• 12.7 mm stainless steel high and low pressure tubing
• 12.7 mm stainless steel high pressure check valve
• High pressure coalescing filter with purge/bleed valve
• High pressure CNG regulator with coolant line connections 1 lOpsi
• Solenoid valve with electrical wiring
• 12 pin Deutsch wiring connector
• Pressure transducer with 8-32 VDC input &. 5-4.5 VDC output
Some modules are integrated into the tank enclosure and some are mounted to the frame rails as
standalone modules. The module used for this study is a stand-alone unit, mounted to the frame
rail and purchased from Mainstay Fuel Technologies®.
The module includes a pressure regulator. The fuel enters the module at a pressure of 3600 psi
and is then reduced down to 70 psi min/150 psi max for typical engine operation. In cold
temperatures, the pressure regulator is protected from freezing by warm engine coolant which is
circulated through the module.

3.5 CNG Engine Overview
The Cummins ISX12G 11.9 liter CNG engine was introduced in 2012 and went into production
in 2013 and is currently manufactured in Jamestown, New York. The engine is a factory built
dedicated natural gas engine for heavy duty truck applications. The most optimal setup for CNG
fuel economy is to have the ISX12G geared to cruise at a 1400-1500 rpm range. Also for regional
hauling 80,000 Ibs gross vehicle weight or less is recommended. The ISX12G is based on the
Cummins ISX12 Diesel engine platform as shown in Figure 3-16.

38
-------
FEW CNG Class 8
The ISX12G can operate on either CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) or LNG (Liquid Natural
Gas). Additionally, the engine was designed to also run on 100% Bio-methane.
In both CNG and LNG fuel systems, an automatic shut-off valve opens in the key "ON" position
and closes when the key is in the "OFF" position.
LNG is a compressed natural gas that is cryogenically cooled to below -250°F (-157°C) at which
point, it condenses into a liquid form. Due to LNG cold storage temperature requirements, the
onboard tanks must be comprised of double walled, vacuum insulated stainless steel.
If the fuel temperature rises, the LNG will begin to expand causing the pressure in the tank to rise
which will then cause the tank to vent. Because of the extreme cold temperatures of LNG, fueling
operators must wear protective gloves, eye wear and clothing, to prevent freezing burns.
Because LNG is odorless and does not include mercaptin - the "skunk" smell added to pipeline
natural gas, a methane detection system is also required.
The Cummins Westport's ISX12G engine has a proprietary spark ignited Stoichiometric cooled
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (SEGR) combustion technology which was first introduced with the
8.9 liter ISLG engine. The primary engine specifications are listed in Table 3-3.

3.6 CNG Exhaust 3-Way Catalyst Overview
Natural gas engines burn cleaner and generate fewer pollutants and require only the use of a
three-way catalyst (TWC) which is maintenance free, much like a typical car, just a little bigger.
Unlike diesel, the CNG system does not need a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) or a SCR
(Selective Catalytic Reduction) unit. The 3-way catalyst uses a metallic or ceramic substrate with
coatings of alumina, ceria, other oxides and precious metals such as platinum, palladium and
rhodium and an oxygen sensor to regulate the air-fuel ratio on engines. The catalyst can then
oxidize CO and HC to CO2 and water, while reducing NOx to nitrogen. Figure 3-17 shows an
example of a TWC unit.

4. Diesel Vehicle Hardware Overview
German inventor Rudolf Diesel patented the compression ignition engine in 1892 which is the
origin of the term "diesel". Diesel engines require a specific type of fuel, the most common being
petroleum based (aka: petro-diesel), which is obtained from fossil fuels that are distilled from
crude oil. Alternative Diesel fuel can also be obtained from different sources such as animal fat,
biomass, biogas, etc. but this is not currently a common practice.
Diesel engines have a number of important advantages over gasoline engines. They provide
reliability, long life, and good fuel economy. Diesel fuel is pumped from the fuel tanks through a
filtering system to ensure the fuel is clean which prevents clogging of the injectors. Once the fuel
reaches the fuel pump, it is pumped into the fuel rail that feeds fuel into the cylinder injectors at
high pressure.
The Diesel fuel is then injected into the engine's combustion chamber when that chamber's piston
40
-------

is near the end of the compression stroke. The high pressure in the chamber ignites the Diesel fuel
as shown in Figure 4-1.

When the fuel has been burned, the exhaust gas exits the combustion cylinder through the exhaust
system. The Diesel engine exhaust system requires a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) or a SCR
(Selective Catalytic Reduction) unit to clean the exhaust gas of the harmful pollutants before it is
released into the atmosphere.
The Diesel fuel system flow overview is provided in Figure 4-2. As the fuel is pulled from the
fuel tank, it passes through a filter/water separator with a 10 micron filter and then through the
mechanical lift pump. The lift pump helps the priming and runs for 60 seconds after the key is
turned ON. The fuel then passes through the 5 micron fuel filter located on the engine and then
enters the injector pump. The system is under low pressure prior to the injector pump.

4.2 Diesel Tank Overview
The Class 8 Diesel fuel system for this study consists of two Diesel 120 gallon fuel tanks.
Fuel tanks can be made from steel, aluminum or stainless steel. The most widely used material
for fuel tank manufacturing is 5000 series aluminum, specifically 5052, 5083, 5086 and 6061
aluminum. These alloys are more pliable which simplifies the manufacturing process. The pattern
for the tank is cut with a laser, plasma or water jet cutter. After the pattern is cut, the tanks holes
are typically cut with a punch press. The end caps are manufactured using a stamping press.
43
-------
IFL
CNG Class 8
The welding of the parts is critical in the tank manufacturing process because there must be good
penetration of the welding to ensure a tank will meet the required pressure and leak testing.
While both steel and aluminum have advantages and disadvantages, the aluminum tanks are 75%
lighter, less corrosion inside and out, have a longer life span and are better for resale. However,
aluminum is more costly than steel.

4.4.1 The Diesel SCR System
The Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) & Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
Once the exhaust gas enters the After-treatment system it passes through the Diesel Oxidation
Catalyst (DOC). The oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide are converted into
nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide and water. The harmful gases are passed through a cordierite
honeycombed brick which is washed with Aluminum oxide. This coating is porous and increases
the surface area, allowing more reactions to take place and may contain some precious metals
such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. See Figure 4-7.

The next phase of the After-treatment is done in the same section of this system but this time the
gases pass through the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
The DPF is a honeycomb structure with alternate channels plugged at opposite ends. The Diesel
exhaust gases pass through the open end of a channel. At the opposite end is a plug that forces the
gases through the porous channel wall, allowing the exhaust to escape through the neighboring
channel (Figure 4-8) while trapping as much as 90 percent of the solid particle matter (soot). The
particulate filters may contain precious metals, but this is not a given.

As particles block the filter, it causes a restriction which creates more back pressure than desired.
When this happens, the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) must be cleaned. A "regeneration cycle"
that reduces the soot to ash is the most common method. There are two ways to do a regeneration
cycle.
• Passive Regeneration: Soot can be removed by using exhaust heat. Some systems such as
Cummins use the truck's own fuel to pump Diesel fuel into the exhaust system.
• Active Regeneration: Soot can be removed by using the exhaust heat, but it must be
actively started by the operator while the engine is not running. The difference between
Passive regeneration and Active regeneration is that active regeneration does not have
minimum temperature requirement.
'There are currently two methods verified by CARB, diesel-fired heaters and electrically powered
heaters. Diesel-fired units generally cost around $14,000 to $25,000 for single systems (dual
systems can be twice as expensive). Electrical units cost around 12,000-$20,000 installed.
Electrically powered units require a high-voltage, land-based structure that have additional
infrastructure costs associated with them. '^
It must be noted that regeneration is not the same as cleaning. Cleaning of the ash must still be
completed on a routine maintenance schedule.

The next section of the SCR is the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) which is a fine mist that is
injected into the exhaust gas stream from a dosing valve after the gas comes out of the DPF.
Figure 4-9 is an example of a DEF dosing unit (left) and urea tank assembly (right).
Urea tank & dosing valve
Figure 4-9: Example of A DPF Dosing Unit System
(Source: http://www.irv2.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_6385.jpg)
The DEF urea tank is mounted on the side frame rail of the truck and holds the DEF fluid or urea
fluid. DEF/urea fluid is a harmless solution of (67%) purified water and (33%) urea. This
combination is the most effective way to reduce NOx emissions.
At the 67% / 33% combination, the solution will begin to freeze at 12° F (-11° C) causing both
the urea and water to freeze and thaw at the same time. This ensures that the fluid does not
become diluted or over concentrated. Thawing and unthawing does not cause harm to the urea
fluid.
The urea lines and tank are heated. As the engine heats up, it sends heated coolant to the urea
tank. The lines and connectors have heating elements with Temperature-sensing technology
which provide freeze prevention control for very cold climates.
SCR systems are designed to heat the DEF tank and supply lines. If DEF freezes when the
vehicle is shut down, start up and normal operation of the vehicle will not be inhibited. The SCR
heating system is designed to quickly return the DEF to liquid form.
The electronic control unit adjusts the dosing input of the fluid for parameters such as engine
operating temperature and speed.
The EPA requires truck makers to incorporate a staged warning system to let the operator know
when the system is close to empty. The vehicle will go into one of several modes: "limp home",
reduced engine power, or limited engine starts. At some point the engine will not start if the
warning is ignored. So to prevent the engine from not starting, do not ignore the warnings.

-------
CNG Class 8
A Class 8 vehicle requires only 2-3 gallons of DEF/urea fluid for every 100 gallons of Diesel fuel
that is used.
• Annual miles for average truck = 120,000 miles per yr.
• MPG for average truck = 6 mpg
• 120,000 miles / 6 mpg = 20,000 gallons Diesel fuel per year
• DEF usage @ 2 to 3% of fuel consumption = 400 gallons of DEF per yr.
• With a 20 gallon tank (average size) = 20 DEF fill-ups / year.
• DEF pricing will be at or below the price of Diesel fuel.
• Using $3 per gallon = $1,200 per yr.
The use of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) results in a fuel savings of about 5% or 6.3
miles per gallon.
120,000 miles / 6.3 mpg = 19,048 gallons Diesel fuel per year - 20,000 @ 6 mpg = 952 gallon
savings per year @ $5 per gallon = $4,760 per year. This is a substantial savings!

Figure 4-10 shows the referenced urea tank used in this study.
Figure 4-10: Example of A DPF Urea Tank System
(Source: FEV)
After the DPF urea fluid is injected into the exhaust SCR system, it passes through the
decomposition reactor where the urea fluid is converted into ammonia via a chemical reaction
called hydrolysis. The (mono-nitrogen) NOx from the exhaust gases and ammonia (NH3) pass
into the SCR element where a catalytic reaction takes place and the NOx is converted into
harmless nitrogen gas (N2) and water vapor (H20). Once the hydrolysis is complete the gasses
are passed through a secondary selective catalytic reduction catalyst. This secondary catalyst
converts any leftover traces of ammonia before the exhaust exits the system. This reaction
produces near zero emissions. See Figure 4-11.

5.5 Fuel System
The Diesel fuel system and the CNG fuel system are to totally different systems and the primary
base of this study. Due to the differences, each system must be looked at separately in the
following sections.
5.5.1 Diesel Fuel System
The Diesel fuel system must be supplied with clean fuel at all times; this means the system must
have multiple fuel filters in place.
Figure 5-11 shows the 5 micron filter that is located on the engine and the fuel pump which is
driven off the crankshaft idler gear. The pump is also lubricated with engine oil that is pumped in
through the pump housing.

The fuel pump also has an 86 micron filter located in the banjo bolt shown in Figure 5-12.

(Source: Cummins parts website https://quickserve.cummins.com)
The fuel injectors are supplied fuel from the high pressure injector supply line and as the high
pressure fuel flows to the injector, the solenoid is activated which lifts a small needle, whereby
the fuel is injected into the cylinders. Since the Diesel fuel system is under such high pressures,
the nozzle hole is very small so if any contaminates get into the fuel system it could become
clogged. For that reason, there are redundant filters along the path of the Diesel fuel. Figure 5-13
and Figure 5-14 show the fuel system flow.

Diesel engines use a direct fuel injection system that directly injects fuel into the cylinder under
high pressure. The injectors are very complex and must be able to withstand great temperatures
and pressures in the cylinders to deliver a fuel mist. See Figure 5-15.
Figure 5-15: Injector & Flow Overview

The air is compressed by the pistons and the fuel is injected into the cylinders. This is known as a
compression process as shown in Figure 5-16.

5.6 Oil System
The oil systems for both the CNG and the Diesel are only slightly different, with only one
exception. The exception is the oil in a CNG system does not darken and look dirty as Diesel oil
does. CNG engines use a different type of oil than the diesel.
The oil system is under high pressure when the engine is started in cold weather so with the help
of a lubricating oil pump, a pressure sensitive regulator circuit and high pressure relief valve, the
oil system returns to normal operating pressures when the engine is running at normal
temperatures. Figure 5-18 shows the oil pump configuration.

5.7 Cooling System
The cooling systems for both the CNG ISX12G and the Diesel ISX12/11.9 are almost identical.
However, there are two distinct differences.
• The Diesel system has a SCR cooling capability and Diesel injector cooling (refer to
Exhaust System).
• The CNG system has neither.
Early ISX engine designs had two thermostats but in 2002 Cummins introduced a one thermostat
design. This design uses the same thermostat from the older designs which opens at 180°F
(82°C).
The ISX design was equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve and used an
impeller in the water pump similar to the QSX15 engine to get the most cooling capacity from the
water pump.
There was also some redesign of the drive ratio on the water pump pulley to increase water pump
speeds for additional cooling. This was increased due to the flow and heat associated with the
EGR. Shown in Figure 5-23 is the coolant system configuration.
Figure 5-23: Coolant System Overview - 1
(Source: Cummins parts website https://quickserve.cummins.com)
Conventionally cooled engines with automatic transmissions typically use an oil-to-water
transmission torque converter cooler plumbed between the radiator and the engine water pump.
A torque converter cooling system with a remote bypass allows the torque converter to receive
coolant flow when the thermostat is closed (engine cold). Figure 5-24, Figure 5-25, Figure 5-26
and Figure 5-27 display overviews 2-5 which show the coolant system configuration.

5.8 Air Intake System
5.8.1 Diesel Air Intake System
With emission levels being of great concern, Cummins used a variable geometry turbocharger to
cut emission levels and create more power.
The variable geometry turbocharger gives quicker engine response times along with better
shifting time and engine deceleration than the fixed geometry turbochargers.
Active control on the variable geometry turbocharger can make the intake manifold pressure
change. When this happens the Electronic Control Module (ECM) adjusts the flow of Exhaust
Gas Recirculation (EGR) into the engine and the engine power is not affected.
The turbocharger may make a whistle sound during idle conditions. When this happens it's due to
the engine control system making changes to the variable geometry turbocharger position. This
allows for more heat to the SCR After-treatment system. This is a part of the normal engine
operation.
The variable geometry turbocharger is protected from damage by a power decrease for high
altitudes. The Turbo unit is also electronically controlled by the ECM by way of the variable
geometry actuator which is mounted on the top of the turbocharger as shown in Figure 5-28.

-------
CNG Class 8
Diesel Only
Figure 5-28: ISX Turbocharger
(Source: Cummins parts website https://quickserve.cummins.com)
The air from the intake is compressed by the turbocharger and the temperature is increased, the
heated air is then passed through a charge air cooler. The cooler air is denser which allows more
air to be forced into the cylinder, giving the combustion more efficiency as shown in Figure 5-29.
Diesel Only
Figure 5-29: Compressed Turbocharger Air
(Source: Cummins parts website https://quickserve.cummins.com)
5.8.2 CNG Air Intake System
CNG engines do not use fuel injection like Diesel engines. They are throttled similar to a
carbureted gasoline engine.
Fresh intake air, recirculated exhaust gas and fuel in its gaseous state are blended together. It sits
physically in the same place as the diesel, at the end of the engine's intake manifold.
The throttle plate on the ISX 12 G engine opens to allow air to pass into the cylinder so the engine
brake will work.
72
-------
IFL
CNG Class 8
The ISX12 G turbocharger has a waste gate. The boost and waste gate are controlled by the
Electronic Control Module (ECM), and are connected to the fuel system. When the throttle is
opened, the air intake is supplied with boost. When it's closed the boost is released through the
waste gate. This release sounds like a puff and is called turbo chuff. This is normal and not an
indication of an engine problem.
The CNG system also uses a fixed geometry waste gate style turbocharger.
Figure 5-30 lists the components of both systems and shows the differences between the Diesel
and CNG air intake systems.

5.9 Exhaust System
This section includes the After-treatment system of the off-engine exhaust components.

CNG Class 8
Conclusion Summary
The primary project objective was to determine the incremental direct manufacturing costs and
weight for the Class 8 systems. Specifically, this included the Cummins ISX12-Diesel and the
ISX12G-CNG engines, including fuel and exhaust systems for both.
The cost analysis is inclusive of all associated assembly costs from component to vehicle level.
Calculations were performed to determine equipment sizing, cycle times and material usage
requirements. FEV has utilized its extensive database of rates for equipment, labor, material, end
item scrap, selling, general and administrative (SG&A), profit, and engineering, design and
testing (ED&T) to develop costs representative of what an OEM would incur for such a system at
a volume of 50,000 units per year.
Cost and Weight Differences
The overall cost differences of CNG as compared to the Diesel at a system level are shown in
Table 0-1.

Note: 1) Fuel and exhaust components that are attached to the engine are
considered engine components.
2} Fuel systems weight does not include the fuel.
^^H
As shown in the above table, the weight differences in the engine are minimal as compared to the
fuel and exhaust systems.
The weight of the fuel system for the CNG is considerably more due to the weight of the
additional high pressure CNG tanks and enclosures required to maintain the same mileage as the
Diesel fuel system.
The CNG exhaust system weight is less when compared to the Diesel SCR system, urea tank and
associated equipment.
178
-------
The ISX12-Diesel and the ISX12G-CNG engine blocks and heads are from the same family of
engines but have slight machining differences. However, those differences were absorbed in the
machining process without additional cost.
The Diesel engine is a compression fuel ignited system with fuel injectors, a common fuel rail,
and an electric actuated turbo system.
The CNG engine has a high energy Coil-On-Plug Ignition and a fixed geometry with a waste gate
and a water-cooled bearing housing. The CNG engines low emissions are due to the
Stoichiometric cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (SEGR), which uses almost all of the available
oxygen in the fuel/air mixture. That enables the use of a Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) in the
exhaust system to achieve the global emissions standards.
Fuel System
The Diesel fuel system is a standard side mounted system.
The CNG is a rear mounted enclosure with five high pressure CNG tanks to achieve the same
approximate mileage of the Diesel system.
Exhaust System
The Diesel exhaust system is a standard SCR system with a urea After-treatment.
The CNG system is a more typical style gas fuel system which only requires a Three-Way
Catalyst (TWC) exhaust.
