October 30, 2024. Hexagon Agility has announced a new wave of orders valued at USD 4.3 million. These orders are for RNG/CNG fuel system installations in trucks powered by Cummins’ X15N natural gas engine, designed specifically for the North American heavy-duty commercial truck market. The new orders include over 30 leading Class 8 fleets of which 40% are new adopters of RNG/CNG.
Currently, Kenworth and Peterbilt, two of the top three Class 8 truck OEMs in North America, offer natural gas truck options powered by the X15N engine. Daimler has stated it will start production of its X15N-equipped trucks in 2025.
“With the new 15-liter engine (X15N), RNG trucks now match diesel-like performance in both power and range. Equipped with a fuel system from Hexagon Agility, Class 8 trucks with the X15N can achieve a range of up to 1,200 miles. This unlocks a whole new segment of the truck market enabling cost savings and emission reduction benefits that an RNG truck offers,” says Eric Bippus, EVP of Sales and Systems Development at Hexagon Agility. “Following on the heels of positive piloting programs, the breadth of fleets placing new orders and the high quoting activity we are experiencing, signifies that the market is embracing this technology as expected.”
