CHERASCO, Italy - June 9, 2017: BRC Gas Equipment, a Westport Fuel Systems Inc. company and leader in the manufacturing and marketing of automotive liquid propane gas and compressed natural gas (CNG) components and systems, announced that Suzuki Italia S.p.A. ("Suzuki Italy")  has chosen the BRC LPG system to expand its bi-fuel vehicle offering. Vehicles in the program will include the Swift, Jimny, S-Cross, Celerio, Vitara Ignis and Baleno models.

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."
