Forward Looking Statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of Westport’s

management and reflect Westport’s current expectations. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking

statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those

expressed in these forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, Westport’s ability to develop

viable fuel systems; Westport’s ability to provide the capital required for research, product development,

operations, and marketing; product development, production and commercial launch delays; changing

environmental regulations; Westport’s ability to attract and retain key personal and business partners;

competition from conventional diesel fuelled engines; and Westport’s ability to protect its intellectual

property.

These factors should be considered carefully and investors should not rely on any forward-looking

Factors section in Westport’s most recently filed Annual Information Form and filings with securities

 In China & Throughout the Developing World,

Cleaner Technologies are Critical to Sustainability

20

China is the leading GHG emitter in the world, with pollution levels increasing.

Traditional technologies have failed to balance China’s economic trajectory with environmental sustainability.

Developments in fuel efficiency technology will only partially offset projected pollution.

China’s need for energy security underscores the demand for alternative fuels and clean technology.

Page 21: Dealer use only IA Clarington Investments. Dealer use only Canada, China and ESG What are the prospects for a Canada-China relationship grounded in a

21

Vehicle exhaust is the major cause of air pollution in China today.

A long-term sustainability strategy means better, cleaner technology.

Perceived cost and infrastructure barriers are under attack.

Upfront capital expenditure and payback periods are reconciled over the

long term.

Technologies that enable alternative fuels address pollution abatement and

fuel efficiency.

 

A Critical First Step:Greening China’s Transportation Sector

• Refuse and vocational trucks, shuttle buses, transit buses,

motor coaches, and delivery vans powered by reliable,

high-performance natural gas engines are working on

roads in China and carrying people every day. 

• With the global medium- and heavy-duty vehicle market

projected to grow nearly 8% between 2009 and 2014, a

rapidly-urbanizing China is a significant commercial

opportunity.

Balance Risks & Opportunities with the Right Partnerships

Continuous advances in technologies are prompting commitments by industry

leaders.

For China and developing markets, solutions must be technically feasible and

commercially available.

It is critical to anticipate and defeat barriers to full scale adoption of these

technologies.

Strategic partnering accelerates adoption and deployment.

Weichai Westport Inc. (“WWI”), a joint venture between Westport (35% interest),

Weichai Holding Group Co. Ltd.,("Weichai Holding") (40% interest) and Hong Kong

Peterson (CNG) Equipment Ltd. ("Hong Kong Peterson") (25% interest) to focus on the

Chinese market. WWI develops, manufactures and sells advanced, alternative fuel

engines and parts that are widely used in city bus, coach and heavy-duty truck

applications in China or exported to other regions globally. WWI's facility in China

currently has an annual production capacity of 40,000 engines.

Connecting with Asian companies

Demonstration of an appreciation of relevant rules and regulations

Tying in conversations with national (and the Party’s) goals and priorities

Best practice conversations often welcomed, but there’s resistance to ‘copy-pasting’ Western models

Issues such as ‘human rights, as it is holistically interpreted, may stall conversations

A lack of response may not mean that your message has had no effect

‘ESG’ is a novel term; regional differences

‘Soft’ and relationship approach; sustainability leaders frustrated by lack of investor action

Questionnaire fatigue

Appreciation of operational contexts – flexibility in your ESG approach
