Last week (March 6-8) the Westport WiNG™ team based in
Detroit participated in National Truck Equipment Association’s Work Truck Show. It was a great
opportunity to be a part of the largest work truck event in North America, and
we saw a lot of interest at the show in alternative fuels, particularly
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The event coincided with the Green Truck Summit,
where Steven Chu, head of the US Department of Energy emphasized the
benefits of natural gas as an alternative to gasoline and diesel for
commercial fleet owners.
Our team had its own booth on the tradeshow floor in
addition to being part of Ford’s exhibition booth. The Ford F250 powered by the
Westport WiNG Powersystem received a great deal of attention, taking the
spotlight in the New
York Times Wheels section.
Here’s a brief photo re-cap of our team at the event:

The Ford F250 will definitely get a great deal of attention considering its greatness. I for one is into truck and who would resist such a beauty? -Lawrence
