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
statements. Investors are encouraged to review Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Risk
Factors section in Westport’s most recently filed Annual Information Form and filings with securities
regulators for a more complete discussion of factors that could affect Westport’s future performance. We
undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless
otherwise stated.

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.
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.
22
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
