FEV developed ATAC more than a decade ago, targeting large-bore engines in stationary and heavy-duty applications. The lean burn combustion process also offers significant improvements in fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions in comparison with more conventional CNG technology as a result of dethrottling and better combustion efficiency.

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).
