A dedicated compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle, based on the Honda Civic 1.6 liter gasoline vehicle, has been developed and is currently mass-produced in the United States of America. In order to optimize the engine for natural gas, the compression ratio, valve train system and exhaust system have been modified. Engine durability for operating on natural gas reaches high standards by selecting each engine component for the CNG application. A gaseous injector and integrated 2-stage pressure regulator were developed for precise fuel metering control. Consequently, high performance and exhaust emissions at '1/10th of ULEV' are achieved and furthermore the stringent but yet to come EU Stage 2005 Emission Regulation has been met on laboratory level as well.
