the role from Tony Guglielmin who has supported Westport's leadership team as Interim CEO through this transition period.
Dan brings over three decades of experience, marked
by exemplary leadership roles in the global automotive and manufacturing sectors. Known for his considerable operational expertise, he
has a proven track record of driving profitable growth and enhancing productivity through adept utilization of technology and manufacturing
excellence. In his most recent position as Board Member and CEO of Cadillac Products Automotive Company, an international leader in the
plastics converting industry, he demonstrated visionary leadership, diversified the product portfolio, and successfully expanded into
new markets. Prior to this, Dan spent 12 years as Chief Executive Officer at Peterson American Corporation, the largest privately held

in sustainable growth and a significant increase in enterprise value. Dan began his career at The Woodbridge Group where he advanced to
become a member of the core management team transforming the business from a single Canadian plant to a global organization with sixty
plants and several joint ventures.
As an industry leader committed to affecting broader
change, Dan held several key roles including Chairman and member of industry supplier associations Original Equipment Suppliers Association
and Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association, where he shaped industry standards and practices. As part of this work, Dan participated
in high level discussions in Washington, D.C. focused on supporting the automotive industry during the 2008 financial crisis.
"Dan is an entrepreneurial leader. His experience
building strategy and driving change and transformation in the automotive and manufacturing sectors along with his insight into the global
OEM market position him as the optimal candidate to lead Westport's next stage of growth. His distinctive leadership approach, coupled
with a proven track record in executing against a vision, strategic planning and operational excellence will position Westport to generate
value for all stakeholders. The Board and I enthusiastically welcome Dan as our new CEO," said Dan Hancock, Chair of Westport's Board
of Directors.
"I am privileged to join the Westport family
as we navigate towards a future of strategic growth, operational excellence, and sustained value creation. Our focus on innovation while
maintaining financial prudence aims to unlock opportunities and deliver strong returns as we continue to accelerate decarbonization by
providing our customers with sustainable and affordable transportation solutions that address the global climate crisis," said Dan
Sceli. "Thanks to the Board of Directors for their confidence. Over the past three decades I have consistently pursued excellence
and I look forward to collaborating with the Westport leadership team to build on our successes and lead us into the next chapter."
