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.

On average, a 25% reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions can be expected on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis when replacing gasoline by light-duty vehicles (LDVs) running on compressed natural gas (CNG). In this context, it appears that NGVs may compare favorably in many—but perhaps not all—national contexts.

The fuel economy is nothing to crow about but, since Hyundai currently offers cars and crossovers powered by an electric battery, electric/gasoline hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and a hydrogen fuel cell, we are confident a future generation of the Palisade will have some sort of electrification, which will eliminate any fuel economy concerns.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. It is much more than that.
