Westport plans to offer a bi-fuel and dedicated CNG F-150. The vehicle is enabled by Ford's factory gaseous-prep package, which returned for the 2016 model year after it was put on hiatus with the aluminum-heavy redesign for the 2015 truck.

Westport equips the CNG-powered F-150 with its WiNG Power System that's paired with the vehicle's 5.0L V-8 engine. The

Westport has already received certification from the EPA and California Air Resources Board (CARB) for several other 2016-MY vehicles, including the F-250/350 with 6.2L in both bi-fuel (EPA) and dedicated (EPA and CARB); the F-450/550 with 6.8L in dedicated CNG (EPA); and the E-450 with 6.8L in dedicated CNG (EPA).

Westport has pending certifications for the F-150 dedicated CNG (CARB); F-150 dedicated propane autogas (EPA and CARB); Transit cargo van and wagon with 3.7L dedicated CNG (EPA and CARB); and the E-450 dedicated CNG (CARB).

"We recognize that different fleets require different types of alternative fuels and, whether it is natural gas or propane that a company desires, we are dedicated to meet this preference with a certified vehicle," said Paul Shaffer, vice president and managing director of Westport Dallas.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach.
