Westport is already operating on the road. An engineering truck equipped with a CNG system in Vancouver, Canada, is showcasing some of the potential of the technology’s real-world performance and fuel efficiency. Additionally, the Company plans to have demonstration trucks with the full proprietary CNG system operating real-world fleet applications in 2026, as Westport expands customer demonstration programs to validate the system’s benefits under diverse operating conditions.

“We are encouraged by this initiative by Westport. This appears to be a practical step toward delivering lower prices at the pump while also lowering emissions in the heavy-duty transport sector, all without compromising the power, reliability, or efficiency of compression ignition,” said Brad Fedora, President & CEO at Trican Well Services Ltd. “Trican owns hundreds of heavy duty trucks, which are on the road every day, and our demanding operating conditions, where diesel-like performance is essential, need a solution where we don’t have to choose between performance and sustainability. Trican will be following the development of this HPDI system for CNG in real-world conditions typical of our industry.”

“We are also encouraged by the federal government’s continued commitment—reaffirmed in Budget 2025 through Canada’s Climate Competitiveness Strategy—to strengthen Canadian leadership in a low-carbon economy,” added Sceli. “The Budget confirms ongoing support for clean hydrogen, renewable natural gas, and other bio-based energy solutions through Clean Economy Investment Tax Credits and clean-growth programs. These measures reinforce Canada’s transition toward net-zero by 2050 and pave the way for greater adoption of innovative low-carbon technologies such as ours.”
