Hexagon Agility, a subsidiary of Hexagon Composites ASA and the world’s leading provider of natural gas (CNG/RNG) fuel systems, has over the past months received new orders for natural gas fuel systems installations on trucks powered by Cummins’ X15N natural gas engine, designed specifically for the North American heavy-duty commercial truck market.
The new orders are valued at USD 4.3 million (approx. NOK 45 million) and include over 20 leading Class 8 fleets. This brings the total accumulated value of orders that Hexagon Agility has received for natural gas fuel systems for X15N powered trucks to USD 20 million, including the UPS order announced in May 2024 and orders announced in October 2024.
At the end of April 2025, Daimler Truck North America officially announced it had opened orders for Freightliner Cascadia trucks equipped with the Cummins X15N. Daimler, Kenworth and Peterbilt, the three leading Class 8 truck OEMs in North America, now offer natural gas truck options powered by the X15N engine.
“Despite freight market and macro-economic uncertainty, we see a strong uptick in the interest for natural gas solutions,” says Eric Bippus, Chief Commercial Officer at Hexagon Composites. “The new 15-liter engine (X15N) is now enabling fleets to access the fuel cost and emissions reduction benefits of natural gas, with performance that matches diesel 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 has unlocked a whole new segment of the truck market previously constrained to just diesel fuel.”
