 Powering big cruisers in the future
I am always on the lookout for significant developments that may benefit boating and last week I read a story in the e-newsletter, Sustainable Truck and Van that had both a Canadian and an environmental aspect. Volvo and Westport Fuel Systems will be partners in quite a significant joint venture for the development of powertrain components for trucks. British Columbia is home to Westport Fuel Systems and the birthplace of Westport’s HPDI(-)patented fuel system technology.
The two partners will jointly promote, develop and further accelerate the commercialization of the HPDI technology. This joint venture “will resolutely focus on moving forward affordable, sustainable transportation solutions using the internal combustion engine operating on renewable fuels now and hydrogen in the future”, as stated by Westport. Could this technology be applied to boats?
