Westport Fuel Systems Inc. announced it will begin a research project with Scania to apply its HPDI 2.0^TM fuel system with hydrogen to the latest Scania commercial vehicle engine. Preliminary test results are expected in the second half of 2021.

“Hydrogen use in an internal combustion engine with our HPDI fuel system could offer another cost-competitive pathway to reduce CO₂ emissions from transportation,” said David M. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Westport Fuel Systems. “This evolution of our technology could provide an economic, competitive alternative to fuel cells while providing a similar greenhouse gas emission reduction profile.”
