Cespira Information

Cespira designs, manufactures, and supplies proprietary HPDI™ fuel systems that enable internal combustion engines to operate on low-carbon fuels, including LNG, BioLNG, hydrogen, and future renewable fuels. By combining diesel-like performance with significantly lower emissions, HPDI™ technology offers a practical, scalable solution for reducing carbon emissions in demanding segments such as heavy-duty trucks, where other decarbonization options remain commercially unviable. Established in 2024 as a joint venture between Volvo Group and Westport, Cespira operates with full strategic and operational independence. Cespira combines years of engineering expertise, proven technology, and industrial capability with the agility to accelerate HPDI commercialization across the global heavy-duty industry. With a Global R&D Center in Vancouver, Canada, supported by European offices, an advanced manufacturing facility in Brescia, Italy, nd a portfolio of more than 390 patents, Cespira is uniquely positioned to support OEM adoption across multiple engine manufacturers. By enabling existing diesel engine platforms to run on low-carbon fuels without compromising the performance operators rely on, Cespira is helping transition today's transportation needs with tomorrow's climate goals. The future of heavy-duty transport does not require a choice between performance and sustainability. With HPDI™, Cespira is proving that the industry can achieve both.
