GlobeNewswire Inc.
Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (“Westport” or the “Company”) (TSX:WPRT
/ Nasdaq: WPRT), a global leader in low-emissions alternative fuel
transportation technologies, announced today that it has been
awarded a program to develop and supply liquefied petroleum gas
(LPG) systems to a global original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to
accommodate a number of its Euro 7 vehicle platforms. The deal is
forecasted to generate €40 million in annual revenue with
production expected to begin in Q1 2025.
Driving alternative fuel technology adoption
from light-duty to heavy-duty applications is a keystone of
Westport’s OEM technology supply strategy. Earlier this year,
Westport was awarded a €38 million program to support this same OEM
with LPG system solutions for its Euro 6 vehicle applications. In
this new program, Westport will provide fuel systems solutions for
the OEM’s Euro 7 applications, supplying the entire LPG system from
the fuel tank to the fuel injectors.
“We are pleased to continue supplying this
industry-leading OEM by supporting its mission to meet both Euro 6
and Euro 7 application requirements to help ensure cleaner vehicles
and improved air quality for European communities,” said David M.
Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Westport Fuel Systems. “Our
proven solutions provide the growing global market with affordable,
clean transportation that optimizes overall vehicle performance and
efficiency.”
LPG and bio-LPG, also known as propane or
autogas, is a clean-burning alternative fuel used to power light-,
medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles. LPG-fueled vehicles are a
cost-competitive low-emissions alternative to vehicles that use
gasoline (petrol) or diesel, and the technology satisfies stringent
regulatory requirements for emissions reductions. LPG-fueled
vehicles are permitted to drive in emissions-restricted traffic
zones in Europe.
Cost-competitive alternative fuel solutions such
as LPG are a compelling option to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
in markets like Europe where refueling infrastructure is well
established. Alternative fuels for transportation applications are
increasingly in demand globally as an affordable, efficient, and
clean alternative.
