“After trying CNG and LNG Class 8 trucks in pilot fleets, we chose CNG and all-composite cylinders from Hexagon Lincoln for our own systems,” said Russ Thompson, Swift Transportation Co. Vice President of Equipment Purchasing and Shop Operations.
Due to its light weight, Hexagon Lincoln’s line of TUFFSHELL(TM) fuel tanks allow fleet owners the flexibility of increased range with less compromise of payload capacity and wheelbase. The company’s 26″ tank family, officially launched in January this year, is the largest Type 4 gas fuel tanks in the marketplace.
The U.S. heavy duty NGV market is experiencing strong and sustained growth which is expected to continue with the recent expanded line-up of larger, higher horsepower dedicated natural gas engines.
