Hexagon Composites ASA Envisions Tripling of Natural Gas Truck Market with New Cummins X15N at Roth MKM Investor Conference
OSLO, Norway, March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hexagon Composites ASA, a leading figure in the development of Type 4 composite technology and comprehensive fuel solutions, today disclosed that David Bandele, the company's Chief Financial Officer, would be in attendance at Roth MKM's 36th Annual Investor Conference scheduled to be held from March 17 to March 19 in California, USA. Recognized as one of the country's foremost investment gatherings for small-cap entities, participants are urged to schedule their meetings through ROTH's online conference platform or get in touch with their ROTH representative.
The best-in-class composite cylinder technology by Hexagon has greatly enhanced the secure delivery of gaseous clean energy to both domestic and commercial settings, while also aiding the transition towards low-carbon transportation on roads and marine pathways.
Hexagon's subsidiary, Hexagon Agility, is at the forefront of the clean fuel sector in North America. Setting a remarkable precedent with the introduction of compressed natural gas into commercial vehicles, Hexagon Agility now offers the most diverse array of clean fuel alternatives for commercial transportation and the gaseous energy sector. These initiatives empower commercial fleets to transition seamlessly to cleaner fuel options.
Anticipations soar as Hexagon sets sights on a three-fold market expansion from 2024 onwards. David Bandele, the CFO at Hexagon Composites, shared his enthusiastic outlook, explaining how the Cummins X15N engine, with its 15-liter capacity, is poised to multiply the market potential for natural gas trucks in the heavy-duty sector threefold over the following years.
Mr. Bandele will further elaborate on how the launch of this engine is revolutionizing the clean fuel sector, positioning it as a formidable rival to Class 8 fleets' conventional power inputs. The X15N engine is aptly designed to fulfill the stringent requirements set by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and CARB (California Air Resources Board) for the year 2024 and beyond into 2027. This new engine is on par with traditional diesel engines in terms of power and torque, making natural gas a formidable competitor in the heavy-duty vehicle segment.
With initial demand expected to climb steadily through 2024, Hexagon Composites predicts that its market share for natural gas long-haul trucks will advance in alignment with the segment as the new engine gains widespread recognition. Hexagon Agility is well-prepared for this uptick in demand, thanks to their ongoing capacity expansion program set to substantially increase the production volume of cylinders for heavy-duty truck applications. The commencement of this new production line is strategically planned for the first quarter of 2025, allowing the company to capitalize on this anticipated demand surge.
In the bustling North American market, approximately 330,000 heavy-duty trucks are sold annually. A significant segment of this market, comprising 100,000 trucks, is currently within the reach of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG/CNG) solutions, particularly vocations and day cab regional-haul operations. Backing these vehicles is an extensive RNG/CNG refueling infrastructure, boasting over 1500 stations strategically located across major transport corridors.
With the advent of the Cummins X15N engine, an additional 230,000 heavy-duty trucks are poised to join the ever-expanding RNG/CNG market every year. This expansion signifies a vital stride towards incorporating long-haul segments under the umbrella of sustainable fuel solutions.
Alongside their engagement at the ROTH Conference, Hexagon is earmarked to feature in multiple industry trade shows in the United States, including:
