Truck North America
CNG heavy-duty trucks now match diesel on performance, range and total cost of ownership
- ☑ Cummins' X15N engine and Hexagon's fuel systems have closed the efficiency gap to diesel
- ☑ Fueling infrastructure in place and improving
- ☑ Leasing offering available from 2025, addressing incremental capex challenge
- ☑ Significant emissions reductions compared to diesel

Truck North America
CNG payback improving from higher fuel spread and expected capex upcharge on diesel trucks from 2027

US retail fuel prices development, 2015-2026

Current fuel spread of USD 2.3 / DGE
Realized CNG prices typically USD 0.5-1.5 / DGE lower than pump price for large fleets which further increases fuel spread.

Illustrative pump price composition
Diesel
Diesel price primarily driven by commodity
The significant commodity component in diesel pricing creates direct sensitivity to global oil market shifts and unpredictable price fluctuations.

Attractive payback cycle for CNG trucks
2-5 years payback²
Depending on duty cycle and regional fuel spread
Incoming EPA³ NOx regulation from 2027
Expected to increase Capex of diesel trucks by USD 15k and add operational complexity for diesel trucks. CNG trucks already meet the regulation.
Sources: U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Energy Information Administration, Clean Energy Fuels, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
1) CNG contract price for fleet owners is typically significantly lower than pump price; today, expected approximately USD 0.90 lower than retail fuel price
2) Fuel spread reflecting the additional cost of Diesel above a locked CNG price of $2.3 per DGE, Capex estimates post EPA regulation per Fleet Owner, however increased Opex of diesel trucks post EPA regulation not accounted for
3) EPA: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Incoming Truck NOx emissions regulation from 2027.
Truck North America
The US heavy-duty truck market represents a substantial growth opportunity; limited new investments are required to capitalize
- US Class 8 truck annual sales averages around 300k trucks over the cycle, today less than 1% is CNG
- Industry ambition¹ is 8-10% of Class 8 trucks to be CNG, representing ~10x growth in CNG truck sales vs. current volumes
- Increased confidence in market opportunity supported by higher competitor activity
- Pilots with leading fleets demonstrate ample potential, with aggregated fleet size of 250-300k trucks

2025 marked a macro-driven setback following several years of strong growth

Revenue (NOKm)

EBITDA (NOKm)
Financial highlights
- After years of sequential growth, 2025 was a significant setback – top line down 40% y/y
- Heightened macro-economic uncertainty led to delayed fleet investments
- Truck market impacted by soft freight rates, tariff volatility and unclear regulatory policy, with some stabilization towards year-end – refuse and transit segments relatively resilient
-
Mobile Pipeline activity impacted by industry oversupply following a period of significant growth, compounded by lower demand from RNG and oil & gas markets
-
EBITDA for continuing operations was NOK 59m, adjusted for certain one-offs
- Profitability impacted by operating leverage and timing effects of cost actions
- Full year effect of cost savings initiatives expected to be realized in 2026
Note: Historical financials have been re-presented to show continuing operations only. Continuing operations refer to the operating segments Fuel Systems, Mobile Pipeline and Aftermarket in addition to Corporate overhead functions.

Reduction of operating expenses
- ~25% reduction in workforce in 2025
- NOK 205 million reduction in personnel and SG&A costs¹ in 2025
- Run-rate savings largely realized, with modest carry-over in 2026

Release of working capital
- Renegotiated supplier terms and contracts
- Expecting NOK 100-150² million in working capital reduction in 2026
- Inventory levels down NOK ~90 million to date in 2026

Investment discipline
- Limited capex of NOK 25 million last six months
- 2026 capex of NOK 70-80 million focused on short payback and high impact
- No new non-core cash investments planned

Plant closure and consolidation
- Decision to close down Polish plant acquired from SES Composites in 2025
