President Obama and U.S. Secretary of Energy
Steven Chu Visit UPS Shipping Facility to View
Alternative Fuel Vehicles Including Natural Gas
Truck Powered by Westport HD; President Obama
Announces National Clean Fleets Partnership

VANCOUVER, BC – Westport Innovations Inc. (TSX:WPT / NASDAQ:WPRT),
a global leader in alternative fuel, low-emissions transportation
technologies, announced that today President Barack Obama, U.S. Secretary
of Energy Steven Chu and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood visited a UPS
shipping facility in Landover, Maryland to view various alternative fuel
vehicles from UPS, AT&T, Pepsi-Frito Lay, and Verizon’s clean fleets
and to announce National Clean Fleets Partnership. A liquefied natural
gas (LNG) Kenworth T800 truck powered by Westport HD was showcased at
the event to demonstrate UPS’ commitment to reduce the emissions of
its truck fleet while taking a step toward U.S. energy security.

According to UPS, as members of the partnership, the companies -
operators of more than 275,000 vehicles combined- pledged to support the
Administration's energy security efforts and to develop new alternative
fuel technologies in tandem with the government. The combination of
private sector innovation with public sector support is seen as a way
to drive efforts to lower America's dependence on foreign oil while
growing the domestic economy and contributing a significant cost-savings
to companies.

This event followed President Obama’s remarks on a secure energy future
for America on March 30, 2011 at Georgetown University, Washington,
where he discussed the vital role of natural gas as a new source of
energy, including for the transportation sector. The President also asked
members of Congress and all the interested parties involved to pass a
bill that will help achieve the goal of extracting natural gas in a safe,
environmentally sound way and provide incentives to use clean-burning
natural gas in vehicles instead of oil-based fuels.

“We are thrilled to have President Obama encouraging the use of
natural gas in transportation to reduce emissions and America’s
dependence on foreign oil,” said David Demers, CEO of Westport
Innovations. “Westport is strategically positioned to support the
President’s initiatives by leveraging our proprietary natural gas
engine technology and partnering with leading diesel engine and truck
OEMs. Westport’s proprietary high pressure direct injection technology
allows combustion engines to produce 21% to 27% less greenhouse gas
emissions than equivalent diesel engines, enabling fleets to switch
to lower-cost, domestically available natural gas. We are committed to
continually develop low-emissions technologies that allow a wide range
of engines to operate on clean-burning fuels.”

Since its founding in 1995, Westport has developed technology that
allows more environmentally sustainable engines without compromising
the performance, fuel economy, durability and reliability of diesel
engines. Westport is setting the technology standard for combustion
engines to run on gaseous fuels such as natural gas, biomethane, propane
or hydrogen. Westport’s extensive intellectual property portfolio,
knowledge and experience in a wide range of core technologies give
Westport a competitive advantage. Worldwide, Westport has more than 220
issued patents, including 65 issued in the U.S.

UPS was chosen to host the event for its leadership in advancing and
developing future generations of delivery vehicles that significantly
reduce fuel consumption and dependence on fossil fuels. UPS was the
first private delivery company to purchase LNG trucks when 11 were
deployed in 2000. In February, UPS purchased 48 LNG trucks powered
by Westport HD Systems to be used in interstate operations for the
Ontario, California to Las Vegas, Nevada route. UPS will have a fleet
of more than 1,100 natural gas trucks including compressed natural gas
delivery vehicles powered by Cummins Westport engines and the recently
purchased LNG tractors. These LNG trucks are expected to produce 25%
fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to the older diesel trucks and
displace 95% of the fuel used by conventional diesel vehicles.

The Westport HD System consists of a 15-litre HD engine, incorporating
proprietary Westport fuel injectors, LNG fuel tanks with integrated
cryogenic fuel pumps, and associated electronic components to facilitate
robust performance and reliable operation. The Westport HD engine is
certified and compliant to 2010 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and California Air Resources Board emission standards in North America.
