Thursday, September 29, 2011 New Natural Gas System for Ford Super Duty Pickups
 Westport Innovations Inc. announced September 28 that the new natural gas Westport WiNG Power System (WiNG) will be available in the popular 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 and offer unparalleled drivability. As part of the product launch with Ford Super Duty Pickup Trucks, Westport LD has 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 (OEM) testing for safety and durability required for all OEM products. They are designed to meet both EPA 2012 and CARB 2012 standards.
Westport will demonstrate the WiNG-powered F-250 through a "ride and drive" at the Green Fleets conference in Grapevine, Texas on October 3rd and 4th and at the Natural Gas Vehicle Association (NGVA) conference in Fort Worth, Texas on October 20th to 23rd. The F-250 and F-350 pickup trucks are expected to ship in the second quarter of 2012.
