Cristian Rossi, Area Manager, Westport Fuel Systems commented: “Mexico has more than 36 million vehicles and currently there are close to 15 thousand vehicles running on natural gas. Today 1 liter of natural gas is 8 or 8.50 pesos which is about 50% less than a liter of regular gasoline. We are just at a starting point and ready to expand our market share. Westport Fuel Systems has a market-ready portfolio of products for light-, medium- and heavy- duty vehicles. Exhibiting at AltFuels Mexico gave us the opportunity to reach out to our existing and future customers, meet face to face, and highlight our latest alternative fuel technology.”
