UPS Orders 445 Behind-the-Cab CNG Fuel Systems from Agility Fuel

UPS has placed an order for 445 new 160 DGE Behind-the-Cab CNG fuel systems for delivery in 2015 from Agility Fuel Systems, a leading designer and producer of natural gas fuel storage and delivery systems for heavy duty trucks and buses.

UPS, which has been a leader in the adoption of natural gas in heavy duty on-road trucking, will be operating almost 1,600 heavy duty trucks equipped with CNG or LNG fuel systems supplied by Agility.

These trucks, once fully deployed, are, according to Agility, projected to run more than 230 million miles annually and with Agility’s comprehensive field support, are achieving up-time results that are comparable to diesel trucks.

Agility has also supported the UPS natural gas rollout with its portable fueling solution, enabling new LNG trucks to be fueled at the production plant where they are built and quickly placed into service.

“As an early adopter, UPS has been a role model for trucking fleets introducing natural gas into their operations, “said Barry Engle, Chief Executive Officer of Agility Fuel Systems.
