OSLO: Hexagon Agility and Hexagon Purus, both subsidiaries of Hexagon Composites, have signed a multi-year agreement with Certarus Ltd., the North American market leader of clean energy solutions.

The agreement represents a total value of up to USD 85 million (approx. NOK 718 million) and includes the supply of distribution modules for CNG and hydrogen applications, as well as CNG fuel storage systems for Certarus’ heavy-duty truck fleet.

Under the agreement, Hexagon Agility received an initial order for Mobile Pipeline modules and CNG/RNG fuel storage systems, with a total order value of USD 18.5 million (approx. NOK 156 million). Deliveries are expected to commence in Q2 2021.
