Supporting Westport’s introduction of the F-150
propane truck this summer, we’re announcing our agreement with CleanFUEL USA®, an industry leader in propane autogas
technology, to serve as a supplier for the Westport WiNG™
2016 Ford 5.0L F-150. The Westport WiNG™ Power System will employ the CleanFUEL
USA Liquid Propane Injection (LPI®) technology. Westport's F-150 with propane (also known as LPG)
offers Ford QCM/QVM warranty protection with expected EPA and CARB certifications.
“CleanFUEL USA and Westport are both providing high
quality, alternative fuel-powered fleet vehicles with lower emissions and vast
economic benefits,” said Curtis Donaldson, founder and managing partner at
CleanFUEL USA. “The Westport WiNG Power System propane offering demonstrates
that, and we look forward to expanding our relationship with future
opportunities.”
The F-150 includes Ford’s new propane gaseous-prep
package, now available on model year 2016 vehicles. The truck is equipped with
a 5.0 liter engine and new body with high-strength, military-grade aluminum
alloy, reducing the weight of the truck by as much as 700 lbs. The fuel
packages include a standard 23-gallon underbody tank, an extended 39-gallon underbody
tank, or an in-bed 60-gallon tank. Westport is a Ford QVM, so the Westport
F-150 propane certified truck with the Westport WiNG™ Power System is supported
by the Ford OEM warranty, and is now available to order.
“With the 2016 Ford F-150, Westport is delivering a
variety of alternative fuel solutions for fleets,” said Paul Shaffer, vice
president and managing director of Westport’s Dallas operations. “In addition
to the dedicated LPI technology, Westport offers a compressed natural gas option
to support sustainability for corporations, municipalities and organizations
using the popular utility vehicle. We are pleased to team up with CleanFUEL USA
in bringing this high-performing, environmentally-friendly propane truck to
market.”
If you’re going to the Greenbuild International
Conference and Expo November 18-19, 2015, in Washington, D.C., come and check
