"Cummins Westport Inc. will provide Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) 531 CWI engines to be installed as a combination of new installations and repowers (installation of a new power plant in an existing chassis). The new installations will begin in March 2007 and the repowers will begin in May 2007. The 531 engine order is made up of both the 2007 ISL G and the C Gas Plus engine models. The ISL G will surpass EPA and CARB 2007 phase-in levels and meet 2010 emission standards of 0.2 g/bhp-hr NOx and 0.01 g/bhp-hr PM at launch in 2007.
