CPT says that the RegEnBoost system enables a typical family-sized car to achieve less than 100 g/km CO 2 with a 1-liter gasoline engine, but when required can offer the same lively performance and in-gear acceleration of a 2-liter naturally aspirated powertrain. A final key element of the RegEnBoost concept is the TIGERS turbo-generator.

The Q7 PHEV will arrive in dealerships in Germany in 2016, and will likely come to the US, although perhaps with a gasoline-engine variant. Because the exhaust system transports only water, it can be made of lightweight polymer. Torque at both axles can be electronically controlled in the event of slip and steplessly varied.

Johnson said that currently, Achates can deliver a 12-16% reduction in fuel consumption compared to the best diesel, and about 50% against gasoline, and with a cost and size reduction. A common-rail fuel injection system supports injection pressures up to 2000 bar, and can deliver multiple injection events per engine cycle.
