Westport Fuel Systems, Weichai Westport modify terms for HPDI system supply

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. said its Weichai Westport Inc. (WWI) joint venture has agreed to amended terms for the existing technology development and supply agreements between WWI and Westport Fuel Systems. The amendments modify the existing 2018 agreements between Westport Fuel Systems and WWI, and increases WWI’s commitment to purchase Westport Fuel Systems’ flagship high pressure direct injection HPDI 2.0 systems, while extending the time frame to allow WWI to complete this volume commitment.
