Sustainable Building Meets Alternative Fuel Vehicles at Greenbuild 2015

In November, alternative energy and the building industry met in Washington, D.C. at Greenbuild, a premier event for sustainable building that includes conferences, education, and an exposition. Westport was there, featuring alternative fuel vehicles on display for two of our industry partners.

A Westport WiNG CNG-equipped Ford Transit Cargo Van was on display in the Ford booth at Greenbuild. The Ford Transit CNG is also available in the passenger Wagon model featuring up to 12-passenger seating available with rear CNG installation. Please contact your Westport Sales Representative for Transit Wagon specifications and seating capacity requirements.
