Agility Fuel Systems announced that UPS has ordered 445 of its new 160 DGE Behind-the-Cab CNG fuel systems for delivery in 2015.
With this new order, UPS will be operating almost 1600 heavy duty trucks equipped with CNG or LNG fuel systems supplied by Agility. These trucks are projected to run more than 230 million miles per year.
Agility has supported the UPS natural gas rollout with its portable fuelling solution, enabling new LNG trucks to be fuelled at the production plant where they are built and placed into service.
“As an early adopted, UPS has been a role model for trucking fleets introducing natural gas into their operations. We are proud to have worked with UPS over the last several years to support their natural gas rollout. Today’s announcement is further validation of our technological leadership, innovative and space saving fuel system designs, reliability and industry-leading field support,” said Barry Engle, CEO of Agility.
