Westport Innovations has signed a new agreement with BMW to continue to develop and to supply hydrogen gas injection components to support BMW’s work on H₂ combustion engines (H₂ICE). This is the latest in a series of development agreements between Westport and BMW that began in 2002.

Westport’s hydrogen system is a version of its natural gas injection system modified to deal with the difference in gas density and other factors. Westport has technology development alliances in place with a number of manufacturers, such as Ford, MAN, Isuzu, and BMW to develop engines that operate using  natural gas, propane, hydrogen and blended fuels such as HCNG (Hydrogen-CNG).
