Hexagon Agility receives order for RNG fuel systems from major NA refuse fleet

8/15/2024

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 $18.7 MM (~NOK 203 MM).

"We are proud to enable this refuse fleet to achieve cost-effective, carbon-negative transportation without compromising their existing business operations," says Eric Bippus, EVP Sales & Systems Development, Hexagon Agility. "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."

 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.

 Deliveries of the RNG fuel systems are scheduled to start in 3Q 2024.
