Agility expands new Powertrain Systems unit by acquiring certain propane assets of CleanFUEL USA

Reference is made to Agility Fuel Solutions' (50% owned by Hexagon Composites)

announcement of 11 May 2017 relating to the acquisition of certain propane

assets of CleanFUEL USA.

Agility Fuel Solutions announced today that its recently-formed Powertrain

Systems business unit has acquired the assets of CleanFUEL USA, a leading

provider of liquid-injection propane fuel systems for commercial vehicles, as

well as propane autogas dispensers and refueling equipment. Agility's Powertrain

Systems business unit is also hiring key employees of CleanFUEL USA and will add

business locations in Wixom, Michigan to focus on fuel systems, and Georgetown,

Texas to focus on refueling equipment. Terms of the transaction were not

disclosed.

The acquisition will enable Agility's Powertrain Systems business unit to

immediately offer complete propane fuel systems for commercial vehicles based on

patented liquid propane injection (LPI®) technology. Agility will also be able

to offer turnkey propane fueling packages for both private fleet and retail

locations, enabling a complete propane solution for commercial fleets globally.

"This acquisition will enable our Powertrain Systems business unit to accelerate

its development and certification of propane fuel systems for OEM engines and

vehicles," said Kathleen Ligocki, Chief Executive Officer. "It's a significant

step toward our goal of offering a complete toolkit of solutions to enable the

global transition toward cleaner transportation options."

"CleanFUEL USA has assembled a portfolio of reliable products and leading

technology in the commercial vehicle market in North America," said Brad Garner,

President, Powertrain Systems. "We look forward to combining those products and

technology with Agility's market and geographic reach, financial strength, and

aftermarket service capabilities to make it easy for fleets, OEMs, and propane

distributors to benefit from propane's advantages as a clean and affordable

transportation fuel."
