2 January 2023: Hexagon Digital Wave will deliver a UE7 Ultrasonic Examination (UE) machine to CP Industries. UE machines have traditionally been used to perform periodic requalification of metallic pressure vessels, as prescribed by the US Department of Transportation, Transport Canada, and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). CP Industries will utilize its UE7 to verify the integrity of their manufacturing process for Type 1 steel cylinders, commonly used in steel tube trailers. The UE7 is the largest machine in Hexagon Digital Wave’s UE portfolio, capable of testing cylinders up to 40 feet in length. This represents a new market segment for Hexagon Digital Wave’s UE technology.
Driving Energy Transformation “We are excited to help CP Industries in their continued commitment to provide top of the line Type 1 steel cylinders to the market,” says Melissa Holler, President of Hexagon Digital Wave. “This machine represents another avenue for Hexagon Digital Wave to help deliver safety to the compressed gas industry.”
“The investment we made in the UE7 machine will be a game changer for us. The new set up will allow us to be much more efficient in key aspects of our inspection and testing processes. CP Industries is always looking to improve efficiencies and the team at Hexagon Digital Wave brought us a solution that will make us a better supplier immediately,” says Tom Kairys, VP of Sales and Marketing from CP Industries.
About the market Ultrasonic Examination (UE) uses advanced electronics and sensors that assess the structural integrity of high-pressure metallic cylinders for overall safety. Hexagon Digital Wave has been the market leader for nearly two decades in UE solutions for the periodic testing of high-pressure seamless metallic cylinders. UE allows customers to test their cylinders without venting the gaseous contents. This has a number of positive impacts to both the environment and the customer.
As of December 2022, 165 Hexagon Digital Wave UE machines were in use throughout the globe for inspection of high-pressure metallic vessels. This is in accordance with DOT Special Permits 14206 and 14149 and Equivalency Certificate SU-10112.
Timing The UE7 machine, completed at year- end 2022, will be shipped to CP Industries in January 2023.

https://hexagongroup.com/news/...t-with-hexagon-agilitys-fuel-systems Costa Mesa, CA, 15 February 2023: Hexagon Agility, a world-leading provider of renewable and compressed natural gas (RNG/CNG) transportation solutions, announced today that Trayecto, the largest cargo trucking company in Mexico, has ordered additional KenMex compressed natural gas (CNG) powered trucks with Hexagon Agility’s best-in-class ProCab® 175 diesel gallon equivalent (DGE) and ProRail® 30 DGE fuel systems.
Transportation is responsible for almost 20% of annual CO2 emissions globally. Reduction in fleet emissions is urgent. Hexagon Agility’s best-in-class ProCab 175 and ProRail 30 CNG fuel systems with integrated Blue iQ® provide a driving range on par with counterpart diesel trucks, enabling Trayecto to utilize CNG, and obtain its environmental benefits, without sacrificing performance. With more than 70,000 vehicles on the road globally and over 30 years of experience, our priority has always been and remains to develop and deliver world class solutions that meet today’s day and sleeper cab operational needs.
“We are dedicated to helping our customers make the transition to clean fuels, ensuring reliability and cost savings in mission-critical fleet operations,” said Eric Bippus, Hexagon Agility’s Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing. “Grupo Transportes Monterrey is a long-time customer of ours and we are excited to continue our partnership with Trayecto as they leverage the benefits of CNG to improve the sustainability of their fleet operations.”
Prior to this order, Trayecto had been operating over 300 CNG tractors in its fleet of 4,000 trucks throughout Latin America. Trayecto was recently formed when Alianza Trayecto, Grupo Larmex and Grupo Transportes Monterrey merged to further strategic collaboration in the transport sector. Today, ten percent of its fleet runs on CNG with commitment to further replace diesel tractors with new CNG tractors equipped with Hexagon Agility’s fuel systems.
“Our goal is to address the challenge of decarbonization and implement technologies like natural gas where it makes sense,” said Jorge Casares, CEO of Trayecto. “Hexagon Agility has been instrumental over the last decade helping Grupo Transportes Monterrey transition diesel trucks to reduce our carbon footprint with natural gas. We value our partnership and look forward to many years of delivering safe and reliable transportation throughout Latin America.”
