About Westport Innovations
Westport Innovations Inc., based in
Vancouver, B.C., develops technology and products designed to reduce
pollutant emissions from heavy duty diesel engines such as those used in
buses, trucks, locomotives, ferries, off-road vehicles, as well as
stationary power generators. The patented new High Pressure Direct (HPD)
Injection technology has allowed Westport to develop a new natural gas fuel
injector for diesel engines. This injector can be used to replace diesel
fuel injectors in existing engines, or it can be incorporated in the
construction of new diesel engines. Westport's other products include
components of natural gas engine systems such as fuel pumps and electronic
monitoring systems.
Westport's potential market is the
diesel engine industry, including buses, trucks, off-road vehicles, ferries
and locomotives, as well as stationary applications. The Company's initial
objective is to market conversion systems to public transit operators in the
United States and Canada. Westport also intends to develop engine systems
for specific applications in the North American market through the
development and/or licensing of HPD Injection fuel systems to manufacturers
for integration into new engines. As diesel injectors are replaced as part
of the regular engine maintenance cycle, Westport intends to enter the
injector replacement part market as the third element of its
commercialization strategy.
