Hexagon Agility receives significant order for RNG fuel systems from major refuse fleet in North America
13 August 2024: Hexagon Agility, a subsidiary of Hexagon Composites, has received orders for renewable natural gas (RNG) fuel systems from a major refuse fleet in North America. The orders have a total value of USD 18.7 million (approximately NOK 203 million).
“We are proud to enable this refuse fleet to achieve cost-effective, carbon-negative transportation without compromising their existing business operations,” says Eric Bippus. “Refuse fleets face the challenge of heavy payloads and unique and demanding operating environments. Making the switch to RNG offers fleets a proven and profitable option that reduces their carbon footprint - and provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for critical fleet operations.”
About the market
RNG captured from organic material in agricultural, wastewater, landfill, or food waste can produce carbon-negative results when fueling on-road vehicles like short- and long-haul trucks, transit buses, and refuse and recycling collection vehicles.
According to The Transport Project (formerly NGVAmerica) in the U.S. in 2023, 79% of all on-road fuel used in natural gas vehicles was RNG. This number grew by 16% compared to 2022 volumes, increasing 234% over the last six years.
Timing
Deliveries of the RNG fuel systems are scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2024.
