Agility Fuel Solutions and XStream Trucking haven entered an agreement whereby Agility will be the exclusive distributor of XStream’s TruckWings aerodynamic systems for compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks in North America. Agility will also distribute TruckWings on a non-exclusive basis to the diesel truck market.
The company says the patented TruckWings design incorporates folding panels made of impact-resistant, glass-reinforced composites attached to the rear sides and roof of the cab that automatically swing out to close the cab-to-trailer gap at highway speeds and retract against the rear of the cab at lower speeds to leave room for turning maneuvers.
TruckWings can be added as a standalone aerodynamic package or as an option integrated onto Agility’s ProCab 175 CNG fuel storage systems for Class 8 trucks. The company says the ProCab 175 features an integrated fuel management module and optional Blue iQ technology, which offers a suite of intelligent driver and service tools that are integrated with Cummins-Westport’s ISX12N Near-Zero emissions natural gas engine. Agility adds ProCab 175 CNG fuel storage systems offer over 800 miles of driving range.
