LTU President Virinder Moudgil (L) and ServoTech Engineering President Hamid Servati unveil the logos on one of the trucks donated by Westport Advanced Engineering.
Westport, a natural gas engine and vehicle engineering company, has donated a bi-fuel Ford F-250 truck that can run on either gasoline or compressed natural gas to Lawrence Technological University (LTU). The bi-fuel truck will also serve dual purposes – student research in LTU’s alternative fuels program and snow removal on campus.
Westport also provided LTU another F-250, two F-150s and an F-450, which will also be used for campus maintenance.
Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Westport engineers some of the world’s most advanced natural gas engines and vehicles. It works with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide from design through production, creating products to meet the growing demand for vehicle technology that reduce both emissions and fuel costs.
Hamid Servati, vice president of Westport and president of Belleville-based ServoTech Engineering, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westport, formally donated the vehicles to LTU at an Oct. 8 ceremony. read more
