Westport Showcases its Market Ready HPDI™ Fuel System, A Single Solution for Multiple Fuels at ACT Expo 2023
May 02 2023 - 6:10PM
Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (TSX:
WPRT / Nasdaq:
WPRT), a leading supplier of advanced alternative
fuel delivery systems and components for the global transportation
industry, announced it will display its HPDI™ fuel system on
commercial vehicles equipped with its commercially available
liquified natural gas (LNG) and biogas (bioLNG) and its hydrogen
(H₂) capable and proven variant H₂ HPDI. The vehicles will be
presented beginning today through May 4, at the Advanced Clean
Transportation (ACT) Expo 2023 in Anaheim, California. Further
information on the fuel system technology will be available at the
Westport booth, #7084.
Alternative fuels used in internal combustion (IC) engines are
necessary to achieve a zero-emissions transition in the next two
decades. The HPDI fuel system enables existing IC engine
architecture to operate with a variety of alternative fuels,
including natural gas, renewable natural gas or bio-methane, syngas
and hydrogen, as increasingly popular alternatives to diesel fueled
engines. Equipping a diesel cycle engine with the HPDI fuel system
allows OEMs to leverage existing vehicle and manufacturing
infrastructures, engineering competencies and resources, while
improving performance and emissions. An HPDI fuel system-equipped
IC engine fueled with H₂ achieves near zero
CO₂ emissions, while delivering peak performance spanning
power, efficiency, and torque.
“With impending regulations and the overall desire for cleaner
transportation, fleets need solutions that are not only viable for
their operation but are technically available, affordable, and
consistent with market realities,” said David M. Johnson, chief
executive officer of Westport Fuel Systems. “Our HPDI fuel system
is a practical solution at the OEM level supported by
market-available fuels when a vehicle hits the road. This
translates to a realistic, immediate path forward for fleets to
achieve their decarbonization goals.”
Westport’s HPDI fuel system solution significantly reduces
capital investments by utilizing current powertrain, driveline, and
compression ignition engine platforms, as well as preserves
crucial engineering expertise and current supply chains, all
resulting in expedited time to market and a low-cost option to
CO₂ compliance in long-haul trucking. It is currently
collaborating with three global commercial transportation OEMs to
evaluate the performance, efficiency and emissions of the OEMs’
engines equipped with Westport’s H₂ HPDI fuel system, which
was first introduced in 2022.
Westport also continues to see growth across its hydrogen fuel
component business as it continues to supply and meet increasing
demand for complete fuel systems for hydrogen fuel cell and
hydrogen internal combustion engine applications; from
high-pressure tank valves to low-pressure electronic fuel control.
As manufacturers pursue alternative technologies in emissions
regulation compliance, Westport is driving cleaner performance and
efficiency, while reducing emissions with technology available
today.
