Hexagon Agility (Costa Mesa, Calif., U.S.) a Hexagon Composites (Alesund, Norway) business, signed a master services agreement in October 2019 with UPS, the world's largest package delivery company, to supply compressed natural gas (CNG) and renewable natural gas (RNG) fuel systems for medium and heavy-duty trucks, as well as terminal tractors.
Hexagon Agility has recently received its first 2021 orders under this agreement, which represent an estimated total value of USD $8.1 million (approximately NOK 69 million). These orders are for ProCab systems for heavy-duty trucks.
