How WestPort Innovations Inc. (USA) (WPRT) Meets the World’s Demand

One big business opportunity that WestPort is now working on is with LA Metro, which is now modifying its public transportation services to the Downtown Los Angeles and San Diego area using compressed natural gas as fuel for its fleet. Other business partnerships are also being explored with Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ:CLNE) for refueling infrastructure for alternative fuel vehicles as well as Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WM) for fleet engine services among others.

Market Performance of WestPort

From its humble beginnings to its current worldwide market reach, WestPort Innovations has also become a stable commodity in the stock market. In NASDAQ, for the week ending February 15, 2013, the share prices have moved between US$29.25 to a high of US$31.70. This is just for its current interests in China and in Europe. With its current expansion in North America, specifically the continental United States, the growth of the company is to be expected, with a share price high of US$32.89 in 2012 on market capitalization of US$1.74 billion dollars.

With efforts that have been met and achieved for the past few years, and even a positive foresight of what would come ahead provides a clear definition of how WestPort Innovations has blossomed from its early beginnings of scientific curiosity.
