Westport will develop the heavy-duty truck engine featuring Westport high pressure direct injection technology.
Under the terms of the agreement, each partner will contribute significant resources and pay for its own people and costs of the program, which will be led by Westport.
Westport expects to invest about $12m and the schedule calls for product launch in 2014.
When the product is launched, Westport will supply its HD system components for an agreed upon amount per engine.
Westport is a global supplier of solutions that allow engines to operate on clean-burning fuels such as compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, and renewable natural gas fuels such as landfill gas and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
