Westport Fuel Systems announced today a breakthrough compressed natural gas (CNG) solution that pairs with its existing HPDI engine technology. The new platform enables HPDI engines to run on CNG at high pressure without the need for a compressor, delivering diesel‑like performance while using a fuel that is widely available in North America.
The CNG solution expands HPDI’s fuel‑agnostic portfolio, allowing fleet operators to adopt a low‑carbon, cost‑effective alternative to diesel. Westport plans to begin field testing in 2026 and expects commercialization shortly thereafter, positioning the company to capture a growing segment of the natural‑gas truck market that currently relies on liquefied natural gas (LNG).
This launch aligns with Westport’s strategic focus on hard‑to‑decarbonize heavy‑duty transport. By adding CNG to its HPDI lineup, the company strengthens its competitive edge in markets where pipeline infrastructure and natural‑gas pricing favor CNG over LNG, thereby enhancing its appeal to North‑American fleets and supporting its broader decarbonization agenda.
