Agility® Fuel Solutions (Agility), a business of Hexagon Composites and a
leading global provider of clean fuel solutions for medium- and heavy-duty
commercial vehicles, received a substantial order from longtime customer
Anheuser-Busch. Over 180 new trucks equipped with Agility's ProCab® 175 CNG Fuel
Systems will be joining the fleet. The estimated total value of the order is
over USD 8.0 million (approx. NOK 72 million).
In 2014 and 2015, Anheuser-Busch converted 160 diesel-fueled trucks in Houston
and St. Louis to fleets powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) engines. As the
next step to achieve their 2025 sustainability goal of reducing carbon emissions
across their value chain by 25% by 2025, the brewer will be expanding this fleet
and investing in technology to transition to cleaner-burning renewable natural
gas.
"Innovation in the transportation sector is a massive opportunity for companies
like ours and we continuously strive to lead the industry by transporting every
beer in the most sustainable way possible." said Ingrid De Ryck, Vice President
of Procurement and Sustainability at Anheuser-Busch. "The quality, efficiency,
and durability of Agility's CNG fuel systems enable us to improve the
sustainability of our fleet and reduce carbon emissions across our entire value
chain."
The two fleets are expected to travel more than 8.5 million miles each year. By
transitioning the trucks within these fleets to renewable natural gas, the
brewer expects to reduce their emissions by more than 70% compared to
conventional diesel - the equivalent of taking more than 66 thousand passenger
cars off the road or planting more than 8 million new trees.
"RNG or biomethane is a pipeline quality gas fully interchangeable with CNG and
it's one of the cleanest burning fuels available. We are pleased to see that our
systems continue to enable Anheuser-Busch to opt for lower emission solutions in
their fleet," says Seung Baik, President of Agility Fuel Solutions. "The
performance, durability, and price stability of natural gas-powered trucks make
it a great value for distribution fleets like Anheuser-Busch."
Delivery of the ProCab 175 CNG Fuel Systems is scheduled from mid-Q3 to mid-Q4,
2020.
