TITAN® XL North America order for large-capacity industrial natural gas solutions

TITAN® XL North America order for large-capacity industrial natural gas solutions

Hexagon Composites' wholly owned subsidiary Hexagon Lincoln announces an order

for TITAN® XL trailers from Xpress Natural Gas LLC (XNG) with a total estimated

value of USD 8 million (around NOK 66 million).

This order represents a significant expansion to XNG's already substantial

TITAN® fleet, which the company uses as its standard trailer to deliver natural

gas to industrial, commercial and municipal customers throughout the United

States and Canada. The order coincides with the expected US DOT approval of the

TITAN® XL and includes an option to further purchase additional trailers worth

up to USD 16 million (approximately NOK 133 million). Deliveries are scheduled

to commence in fourth quarter 2016.

"Our customers are focused on utility-grade gas solutions to convert their

operations to natural gas," says John Nahill, CEO of Xpress Natural Gas. "The

TITAN® XL will enable us to offer greater reliability through volume

efficiencies, and is another example of our ongoing commitment to bring low-

cost, cleaner natural gas to companies and gas utility partners across North

America."

"Our Mobile Pipeline® products enable industries to take advantage of reduced

NOx and particulate emissions within their community even when they are not

located near pipelines," says Frank Häberli, Vice President Mobile Pipeline®

Division, Hexagon Composites. "The TITAN® XL further allows the operation of a

Mobile Pipeline® in places where physical pipeline build either is too costly or

environmentally challenging."

The TITAN® XL, introduced to Latin America in 2015, represents the globally

largest volume road trailer for the transportation of compressed natural gas

(CNG). Its unique, ultra-light carbon fiber Type 4 cylinders allow it to meet

the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) limitations of several US states.

The order from XNG is contingent on receiving an extension of the current US DOT

special permit by 15 July for Hexagon Composites' TITAN® to also include TITAN®

XL.
