This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") covers 654,723 common shares, no par value ("Common Shares"), of Westport Innovations Inc.
(the "Registrant"), which may be issued under the Westport Innovations Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan") in respect of the restricted stock units and restricted stock outstanding under the equity plans of Fuel
Systems Solutions, Inc. ("Fuel Systems"), which awards are expected to be assumed by the Registrant pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Registrant, Whitehorse Merger Sub Inc. and Fuel Systems, dated
September 1, 2015, as amended. In addition, this Registration Statement covers an indeterminable number of additional Common Shares as may hereafter be offered or issued pursuant to the Plan in respect of such assumed awards to prevent dilution

Estimated solely for calculating the amount of the registration fee, pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act, based upon the average of the high and low prices per share of the Common Shares on
May 23, 2016, as reported by the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

Systems Solutions, Inc. ("Fuel Systems") to be assumed by the Registrant pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Registrant, Whitehorse Merger Sub Inc. and Fuel Systems, dated September 1, 2015, as
amended (the "Merger Agreement"), and (ii) an increase in the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, as required to permit the assumption of such equity awards as required by the Merger Agreement, up to a
maximum of 1,200,000 Common Shares. Effective upon the closing of the Merger Agreement, the Plan was amended and restated in the form attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Registration Statement on
Form S-8
(this "Registration Statement").

document evidencing such awards). In accordance with General Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statement are incorporated herein by reference, including all exhibits filed therewith or incorporated therein
