Cherasco, Italy (ots/PRNewswire) -

Longstanding partnership provides bi-fuel LPG options to growing
market

BRC Gas Equipment ("BRC"), a Westport Fuel Systems Inc. ("Westport

manufacturing and marketing of automotive liquid propane gas ("LPG ")
and compressed natural gas ("CNG") components and systems, announced

system to expand its bi-fuel vehicle offering. Vehicles in the
program will include the Swift, Jimny, S-Cross, Celerio, Vitara Ignis

BRC has worked with Suzuki Italy since 2008 developing both
dedicated and bi-fuel LPG kits compatible with Suzuki Italy's entire
vehicle lineup. Once approved by Suzuki Italy, LPG kits are sold and
installed directly at dealerships or through BRC's official workshop
network, BRC Gas Service, which includes more than 500 specialized
workshops, offering a wide range of technical and commercial
services. Each LPG kit includes a three-year warranty and
supplementary insurance policy.

"This streamlined approach to development, distribution and
installation has allowed Suzuki Italy to quickly expand their LPG
product offering and gain market share in Italy," said Marco Torassa,
DOEM Sales Manager of BRC. "Having sold over 5,800 dedicated LPG kits
and 6,500 bi-fuel conversion kits to customers, we are excited to
continue partnering with Suzuki Italy to provide technology solutions
to reduce emissions and meet the growing demand for LPG vehicles."
