Agility Fuel Solutions announced Thursday 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, Mic. to focus on fuel systems, and Georgetown, Texas to focus on refueling equipment.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
According to Agility, 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,” says Kathleen Ligocki, CEO. “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,” adds Brad Garner, president at 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.”
