Westport Fuel Systems and Volvo Group Finalize Agreement to Complete Hydrogen Engine Development

Cespira, a joint venture between Westport Fuel Systems and the Volvo Group, finalized an agreement this week to complete the development of hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines. This partnership aims to finalize the engineering and testing phases for the technology, which utilizes high-pressure direct injection (HPDI) systems to power heavy-duty vehicles using hydrogen fuel.

The agreement outlines the specific technical milestones the joint venture must achieve to transition the hydrogen-powered engines from the development stage to commercial readiness. Westport Fuel Systems contributes its proprietary HPDI technology to the project, while the Volvo Group provides the engine platforms and integration expertise necessary for heavy-duty transport applications. Both companies established Cespira to accelerate the deployment of carbon-neutral fuel solutions for the trucking industry, and this latest contract formalizes the operational roadmap for the engine’s final development cycle.
