28 July 2025: Hexagon Agility, a business of Hexagon Composites and the world's
leading provider of natural gas (CNG/RNG) fuel systems, has received an order
for fuel systems from a leading American consumer goods manufacturer for 60
trucks powered by Cummins' new X15N engine. The order follows the successful
piloting of X15N natural gas trucks over the last six months.
This new fleet of natural gas day cab and sleeper trucks is expected to travel
more than 2.2 million miles each year. By transitioning the heavy-duty trucks
within their fleet to renewable natural gas, the company will benefit from fuel
savings of up to USD 1.50 per diesel gallon equivalent and reduce their
emissions by more than 90% compared to conventional diesel - the equivalent of
planting more than 13,000 acres of forest each year.
"Following a successful pilot stage, we are thrilled to support this leading
manufacturer in scaling their deployment of X15N natural gas-powered trucks,"
says Ian MacDonald, Head of Fuel Systems for Hexagon Agility. "The proven
performance, reliability, and cost benefits of natural gas trucks make them an
ideal solution for distribution fleets, and we're excited to see those benefits
now being realized in the long-haul, heavy-duty segment."
About the North American truck market
Approximately 300,000 heavy-duty trucks are sold annually in the North American
market. Previously, 100,000 of these trucks made up the addressable market for
natural gas solutions. Now with the Cummins X15N natural gas engine, natural gas
is well-suited for every operation, haul and load requirement fleets demand,
adding 200,000 heavy-duty trucks to the addressable market for CNG/RNG annually.
With power ratings up to 500 hp (~370 kW) and torque up to 1850 lb.-ft (~2500
Nm), the X15N engine meets the demands of long-haul heavy-duty fleet operators,
delivering performance that matches diesel. Coupled with Hexagon Agility's fuel
systems, trucks can now achieve a driving range of more than 1,100 miles (1,800
km), meeting fleet range requirements that were previously only provided by
diesel-powered vehicles.
Natural gas trucking is supported by a growing network of over 1,600 public and
private CNG/RNG fueling stations along key transportation corridors throughout
North America.
Timing
Deliveries of the natural gas fuel systems are scheduled to start in the third
quarter of 2025.
