“Pioneer is one of our most important customers and we’re proud that they have chosen Westport WiNG quality and our ability to deliver,” said John Howell, Senior Director of Marketing and Development, Westport LD. “It’s a great vote of confidence in the WiNG product, and it’s encouraging that we’re able to establish a growing market for Ford Super Duty trucks that can be powered by natural gas.”
Westport LD recently opened the Westport Kentucky Integration Center in Louisville where the natural gas WiNG power systems are installed on Ford F250 and F350 bi-fuel pickup trucks. With the ability to run on either natural gas or gasoline, the Ford trucks offer drivers more than 650 miles of range with two full tanks, and can take advantage of a low cost, domestic fuel.
“Pioneer strives to lead by example with our commitment to natural gas vehicles and engines in our own operations,” said Jay Still, Executive Vice President of Domestic Operations at Pioneer. “Transitioning to natural gas for our fleet fuel is good economics, good for the environment and good for American jobs.”
