NGV GLOBAL SPONSOR’S PROFILE
Westport Innovations Inc. is a leading developer of environmental technologies that enable vehicles to operate on clean-burning alternative fuels.
We develop high-performance, fuel-efficient internal combustion engines and fuel systems for gaseous fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), biomethane, hydrogen, and hydrogen-enriched compressed natural gas (HCNG).
We create complete solutions for the transition of commercial vehicle fleets from oil-based fuels to natural gas or biogas.
