Westport to expand global production in Canada and China

Westport started production at its expanded product development and manufacturing facility in Cambridge, Ontario and its new China Hydrogen Innovation Center and Manufacturing facility in Changzhou, China.

Both facilities will support the development of Westport’s GFI-branded fuel system components by advancing Westport’s global hydrogen, CNG and RNG strategies and enabling local manufacturing capacity in China, a market widely cited as the largest in the world for hydrogen commercial vehicle deployment. Initial products were shipped to customers in December 2025, with both facilities continuing to ramp up capacity through the first quarter of 2026.
