Westport Innovations announced the new natural gas Westport WiNG Power System will be available in Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickup trucks sold and serviced through authorized Ford dealers.


The F-250 and F-350 pickup trucks, based on Ford's new 6.2L hardened engine platform, can also run on ordinary gasoline.

As part of the product launch with Ford Super Duty Pickup Trucks, Westport LD unveiled the new WiNG system, an advanced, integrated, bi-fuel system for passenger and commercial vehicles targeting fleet customers.

The Ford F-250 and F-350 pickups with the bi-fuel Westport WiNG Power System have undergone the same rigorous original equipment manufacturer testing for safety and durability required for all OEM products. Engineered at the new Westport technical facility in Plymouth, Mich., WiNG systems will be installed and the trucks will be ready to roll when they reach authorized Ford dealers. They are designed to meet both EPA 2012 and CARB 2012 standards.

Westport will demonstrate the WiNG-powered F-250 in a "ride and drive" at the Green Fleets conference in Grapevine, Texas, Oct. 3-4 and at the Natural Gas Vehicle Association conference in Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 20-23. The F-250 and F-350 pickup trucks are expected to ship in the second quarter of 2012.
