What Hexagon Agility does
Hexagon Agility, founded in 1996 and headquartered in Salisbury, North Carolina, manufactures clean-energy storage, delivery, and conversion systems for commercial vehicle OEMs and fleet operators. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Norway's Hexagon Composites ASA (Oslo: HEX). The company's core technology is the Type 4 composite cylinder — a high-pressure carbon fiber reinforced plastic structure over a polyethylene liner — which is 70% lighter than steel alternatives and is produced at scale (700,000+ cylinders cumulatively). Its product portfolio spans ProCab and ProRail CNG/RNG fuel systems for heavy-duty trucks; refuse-truck systems in roof-mount, front-of-body, tailgate, back-of-cab, and side-mount configurations; transit bus systems integrated with OEMs such as New Flyer, Gillig, Alexander Dennis, Scania, and MAN; Mobile Pipeline (TITAN and X-STORE) bulk gas distribution modules; and supporting electronics like Blue iQ smart gauge and TruckWings aerodynamics. Certifications span US DOT, NHTSA FMVSS 304, ANSI/NGV 2, ISO 11439, ECE R110, ADR/TPED, India CCOE, Russian GOST, and Korean KGSC.
Hexagon Agility monetizes primarily through hardware sales of cylinders and integrated fuel systems sold via OEM-embedded channels and direct enterprise sales to fleets, supplemented by recurring FleetCare aftermarket services, mobile maintenance, genuine parts, technical training, and a certified pre-owned re-certification program. Pricing is quote-based B2B and not publicly disclosed. The company claims 80%+ of US natural gas trucks, 80% of North American clean fuel buses, and 50% of European clean fuel buses use its systems; named enterprise customers include UPS, Waste Management, LA Metro, Nottingham City Transport, Waitrose, Saddle Creek Logistics, Trayecto, Acorn Bioenergy, and Certarus. Manufacturing and engineering span Salisbury NC, Lincoln NE, Costa Mesa CA, Kassel Germany, and Raufoss Norway, with 900+ employees and a 17-year Nordic biomethane partnership with Processkontroll Green Technology that delivered its 6,000th cylinder milestone in February 2026.
