Santa Ana, Calif. – Agility Fuel Systems has released its next-generation side-mount compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system at the Mid-America Truck Show in Louisville, Kentucky. This system incorporates the latest technology and is the result of direct feedback from fleets and truck manufacturers to make it ideally suited to the needs of class 7 and 8 trucks.
This highly engineered CNG system has been tailored to the industry’s requirements for longer range in trucking and quick, easy installation on the production line. Available in capacities ranging from 30 to 60 diesel gallon equivalents (DGE) the system offers exceptional driving range, while providing reduced fill-time, and enhanced safety.
This new system incorporates:
- Improved filling capability. New fuel management module re-engineered for faster fill times and better fill quality.
- Recessed fuel management module. Fueling receptacles tucked inside the envelope of the system.
- Ignition disconnect fuel caps. The vehicle will not start if the cap is not correctly replaced after fueling.
- Type 4 cylinders. Plastic lined and reinforced with carbon fiber, up to 70% lighter than steel tanks.
- Reduced weight. Advanced composite materials lower weight and increase strength.
Barry Engle, Agility’s CEO, states, “We are excited to introduce our next-generation side-mount fuel system. It enables fleets to reduce fuel costs, their single largest operating expense, by as much as 50%. Our new CNG system utilizes the latest technology and system design to provide the long range, fast fill times and highest safety standards demanded by over-the-road truck customers.”
