Earlier this summer, CCJ Chief Editor Jason Cannon took Peterbilt's new-look Model 536 for a trip around the Denton, Texas-area. What made this model unique was its natural gas-powered engine.
Peterbilt offers two natural gas powertrain options in its medium-duty line: the Cummins B6.7N (as of March this year) and the L9N. My test truck was outfitted with the in-line six cylinder, spark-ignited, L9N for the horsepower bump. The B6.7N is rated for 200 to 240 hp and 520-560 lb-ft torque, compared to the L9N's 250 to 320 hp and 660 to 1000 lb-ft torque. My truck was spec'd to 300 hp at 2,100 RPM and 860 lb-ft torque at 1300.
In the video above, ride along with Jason and Peterbilt's Medium-duty Product Marketing Manager Phil Hall to learn more about this green-energy driving experience.
