Zavoli

What Zavoli does

Zavoli, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Cherasco (Cuneo), Italy, designs, manufactures, and markets LPG (GPL) and CNG (compressed natural gas) conversion systems for gasoline-powered vehicles. The company operates as a brand under Westport Fuel Systems Italia s.r.l., a subsidiary of the publicly traded Westport Fuel Systems group. Its product portfolio centers on the BORA family of sequential and direct injection systems (Bora Injection, Bora Direct Injection, and Bora Advance Direct Injection), complemented by Venturi-based aspiration kits for older engines, a broad range of mechanical components (reducers, injectors, solenoid valves, filters, tanks), electronic components (ECUs, wiring harnesses, sensors, emulators), and professional workshop equipment. Technology differentiation rests on proprietary microprocessor-based fuel mapping, the eVP-500 reducer for direct injection, and the AFC ECU, with products homologated under European regulations R110, R67, and R115, including Euro 6D WLTP and Plug-In Hybrid compliance.

Zavoli's business model is B2B2C, monetizing through one-time hardware sales of conversion kits and components via a multi-tier distribution structure. Authorized regional distributors (e.g., Gasmocion in Spain, ROCAR SION in Romania) handle wholesale distribution to local markets, while the Zavoli Gas Point certified workshop network performs installations and provides after-sales service to end customers. Direct webstore sales of components and spare parts provide a secondary consumer-facing channel. Pricing is quote-based and varies by vehicle type and system complexity; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Recent strategic activity (2024-2026) has emphasized product portfolio expansion (JET24 injectors, AFC-3.0 DI Compact ECU, Plug-In Hybrid homologation), formalization of country-level exclusive distributorships, and a strategic agreement between parent Westport Fuel Systems Italia and Landi Renzo in sustainable mobility. The company employs 11-50 people and serves markets across Europe with selective international outreach including South America.
