Westport Innovations Inc., a provider of natural gas engines, announced that the Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks with the Westport WiNG Power System will soon be available to Canadian customers. To serve the Canadian market, Westport is opening an integration center in Windsor, Ontario with trucks expected to be ready for delivery to customers by late June 2013.
Westport's Windsor Integration Centre (WWIC) is a dedicated Ford ship-thru plant near the company’s automotive engineering hub in Plymouth, Michigan. Built at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant, the F-Series Super Duty trucks will be shipped to the 20,000 square feet WWIC for installation of the bi-fuel compressed natural gas (CNG) and gasoline Westport WiNG Power System. Once installed, trucks will be shipped to customers using Ford's single-ship thru transportation system, offering customers efficiencies and cost savings in vehicle delivery.
Starting April 1, customers are expected to be able to order the Ford F-250 through F-550 Super Duty trucks equipped with either the 6.2-litre V8 or 6.8-litre V10 gasoline engines for use with the Westport WiNG Power System at Westport authorized Ford dealerships throughout Canada.
The trucks delivered to Canadian customers will undergo the same rigorous safety and durability testing required for all Ford original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products, according to the company. As a Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM), the Ford vehicle and powertrain warranty remain intact, and the Westport system is under full warranty through Westport with servicing performed through Westport authorized Ford dealerships. The Westport-powered Ford Super Duty trucks are designed to have a range of between 320 and 525 km on CNG alone subject to tank size, plus an additional 700 km on gasoline with payback expected in about two to three years, depending on distance driven.
The Westport WiNG Power System meets all Canadian provincial and federal safety standards and has received Transport Canada approval to affix the National Safety Mark (NSM) to its vehicles offered for sale in Canada.
