Heavy-duty truck powered by a hydrogen combustion engine featuring Westport's HPDI technology. Provides 80 kg hydrogen storage capacity with approximately 800 km range on long-haul trips. Scheduled for on-road testing in 2026 with commercial launch targeted for the end of the decade.

A hydrogen fuel system technology that uses High-Pressure Direct Injection with a small amount of pilot diesel fuel to enable compression ignition before hydrogen injection. Achieves 94-98% CO2 emission reductions, 20-30% more power and torque than diesel engines, and up to 10% improved thermal efficiency.

A fuel-agnostic engine capable of running on hydrogen, natural gas, and diesel, designed for heavy-duty off-highway applications with an expected production start in 2027.
