How Natural Gas Is Affecting Your Portfolio

Ford (NYSE: F) is continuing its partnership with Westport Innovations (NASDAQ: WPRT) in expanding its offering of its Super Duty line to more trucks featuring Westport's WiNG System, which uses compressed natural gas (CNG) first, then gasoline once empty. The offering will be primarily for fleet vehicles rather than individuals, but the system has received critical acclaim and shows that the auto industry trend's more toward CNG is continuing.
