Hexagon Agility Renews RNG Deal With UPS

1 minute(s) Read

Hexagon Agility, a business of Hexagon Composites, signed a three-year extension of its master services agreement with United Parcel Service (UPS) to supply renewable natural gas (RNG) fuel systems for medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Hexagon Agility solutions enable storage, transportation, and conversion to clean energy in a wide range of mobility, industrial, and consumer applications.

Under the extended agreement, Hexagon Agility has received new orders totaling US$57.7 for delivery of RNG fuel systems for heavy-duty trucks. The orders include trucks using the new Cummins 15-liter X15N natural gas engine.

“In the past decade Hexagon Agility has supported the deployment of more than 100,000 near-zero emissions vehicles globally,” said Eric Bippus, EVP of Sales and System Development at Hexagon Agility. “UPS has been a pioneer in sustainable transportation. Once again, they are taking the lead and are among the first companies enhancing their fleet with the game-changing X15N engine and our fuel systems.”

According to The Transport Project and the Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas, 7.67 million tons (6.96 million tonnes) of carbon dioxide equivalents were displaced by RNG in the United States in 2023. This is equal to removing 17 billion miles (27.4 million km) driven by the average passenger car.

In North America, RNG is supported by abundant natural gas pipeline infrastructure. According to The Transport Project, there are more than 175,000 natural gas vehicles on US roads today. In 2023, RNG accounted for 79% of all on-road fuel used in natural gas vehicles in the United States. Meanwhile, fuel providers and RNG producers are rapidly expanding output and availability of RNG at the pump, adding to the 1500 natural gas fueling stations available across North America today.

Deliveries of the new orders are expected to be completed by the end of Q4 2024. The bulk of the orders will be completed in the second half of 2024.
