Company Overview

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. is a Canada-based alternative fuel and low-emissions transportation technology company focused on developing and supplying components, systems, and technologies that enable the use of natural gas, renewable natural gas (RNG), propane, hydrogen, and other alternative fuels in transportation and industrial applications. The company operates primarily within the automotive technology, clean transportation, and energy transition sectors, serving commercial vehicle manufacturers, passenger vehicle markets, industrial engine operators, and aftermarket customers. Its principal revenue drivers include fuel system components, pressure regulators, injectors, electronic controls, compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) systems, and high-pressure direct injection technologies.

Westport Fuel Systems traces its origins to Westport Innovations Inc., founded in 1995 in British Columbia, Canada, to commercialize natural gas engine technologies. Over time, the company expanded through acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and technology development initiatives, including the merger with Fuel Systems Solutions in 2016 that formed the current corporate structure. The company has positioned itself as a supplier of fuel-agnostic and low-carbon mobility technologies, leveraging intellectual property in alternative fuel combustion and fuel storage systems to support fleet decarbonization and emissions reduction objectives across multiple transportation categories.
