Moving forward, what role will Westport play in the transportation world? I believe a big role. Why?
The new engines that have come out recently in conjunction with CMI are changing many truckers minds.

Yes, Westport/CMI have been working on these products for some time but only recent introductions of these engines have made it possible to extensive testing and development. The real move started this year to NatGas.

The hype around Battery power is ever growing. Some have said it will take over this industry. Here's one example why I think it needs a whole lot of improvement before that is going to happen.

Batteries are the single most expensive component of an electric truck, and the battery of a cross-country hauler could cost $100,000 even before they build the truck around it, according to prices tracked by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The sticker price of any electric truck, regardless of size, is going to be higher than its diesel equivalent because of those costly batteries.
