As previously disclosed, Hexagon Agility signed a master services agreement with UPS in October 2019 to supply CNG fuel systems for medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Under this agreement, Hexagon Agility received new 2023 orders totaling USD 19 million. Deliveries of the new fuel systems will commence in the first quarter of 2023. This is in addition to the USD 25.6 million of previously announced orders from April 2022.
UPS is powering its medium- and heavy-duty trucks with renewable natural gas, which results in significant reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions when compared to other clean energy solutions available today. In North America, biomethane is supported by abundant natural gas pipeline infrastructure which allows for its immediate use today, and for decades to come. Hexagon Agility is enabling the adoption of this renewable fuel to cost effectively combat climate change.
“In the past decade Hexagon Agility has supported the deployment of over 70,000 near-zero emission vehicles globally,” said Eric Bippus, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Hexagon Agility. “We commend UPS’ ambitious commitment to combat climate change by leveraging the benefits of renewable natural gas in North America.”
According to NGVAmerica in 2021, renewable natural gas accounted for 64% of all on-road fuel used in natural gas vehicles in the United States. In California that figure goes up to over 97%. Moreover, fuel providers and producers are rapidly expanding output and availability of biomethane at the pump.
