Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (“Westport” or the “Company”) (TSX: WPRT / Nasdaq: WPRT) today announced its new H2 HPDI fuel system. For the first time in Europe, Westport will display its H2 HPDI fuel system-equipped demonstrator truck at IAA Transportation 2022 in Hanover, Germany, September 20-25, 2022. Further information will be available at the Westport booth, Hall H12 Stand B70.

H2 HPDI is designed for use in internal combustion engines. The system, when fueled with hydrogen, offers more power and torque than diesel while dramatically reducing emissions. Westport’s H2 HPDI fuel system provides the following benefits:

  • Up to 20 percent more power than diesel
  • Up to 18 percent more torque than diesel
  • Near zero CO2 emissions
  • Preserves existing diesel engine architecture
  • Preserves existing engine manufacturing infrastructure and investment
  • Lowest cost to achieve CO2 compliance

“We unveil today to the European audience a new CO2 reduction solution for heavy-duty transport. Westport’s H2 HPDI™ fuel system powering an internal combustion engine turns innovation into answers, creating sustainability we are very proud of,” said David Johnson, CEO, Westport Fuel Systems. “We like to think of it as a game changer without the change. Our technology achieves better performance than diesel engines, with Near Zero CO2 emissions, all while utilizing existing manufacturing capital investment and infrastructure.”
