(RTTNews) - Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (WPRT), a manufacturer of alternative fuel systems, announced Thursday that its joint venture with Volvo Group called Cespira has agreed to integrate and commercialize Cespira's HPDI fuel system technology to enable Volvo Group's 13-litre engine to run on hydrogen.

Volvo trucks are currently undergoing on-road testing with a commercial launch targeted before 2030.

The agreement covers development and commercialization activities to adapt the 13L engine platform for hydrogen operation.

Cespira's HPDI fuel system enables direct injection of alternative fuels at high pressures into internal combustion engines, supporting lower-carbon fuels while maintaining the performance, durability, and operating characteristics needed for heavy-duty applications, Westport noted.

This technology is expected to deliver diesel-equivalent performance using zero-carbon hydrogen fuel.

In pre-market activity, WPRT shares traded at $2.40, up 29% on the Nasdaq, while VOLV-A.ST shares traded at 317.20 SEK, down 0.31% on the Stockholm Stock Exchange.
