The engine is designed for use in light-duty vehicles, and demonstrates the potential of modifying passenger vehicle engines to achieve diesel-like fuel efficiency and power using CNG as an alternative fuel. FEV developed ATAC more than a decade ago, targeting large-bore engines in stationary and heavy-duty applications.

Unlike a spark ignition gas engine or diesel engine, HCCI produces a low-temperature, flameless release of energy throughout the entire combustion chamber. HCCI combustion can deliver a very efficient engine, potentially providing a 20% to 30% boost in gasoline engine efficiency without the NO x or PM emissions of a diesel.

Since internal combustion engines will remain the primary mode of choice for mobility in the foreseeable future, both alternative (renewable) fuels and high-performance combustion concepts/ engines using fuels adapted for that purpose will be preferred for reducing the combustion impact on climate change.

Although the HPE approach can in concept be applied to both spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition engines (CI), after an evaluation of engine types, the team decided that downsized SI engines offered the best target for an HPE application. The concept engine uses the Bosch electro-hydraulic valve system (EHVS).
