Besides, Seaboard Foods Live Production Operations will be placing 43 Kenworth T800 short hood day cabs, also powered by the Cummins Westport ISX12 G engine, into operation hauling live animals from the farms to the company’s pork processing plant and animal feed from its feed mill operations to its farms.
“We see adding CNG-powered Kenworth trucks as a great opportunity to further our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship,” said Terry Holton, president and CEO of Seaboard Foods. “The availability of a 12-liter natural gas engine really makes it possible for our operation to run these trucks because it provides the right amount of power and torque for the loads our trucks carry.”
The trucks will be fueled using two new dedicated natural gas fueling stations that the company has built and located near its biodiesel plant in the Oklahoma Panhandle.
