• The Institut Français du Pétrole (IFP, French Oil Institute), has introduced a natural gas vehicle (NGV) which reduces its CO2 emissions down to 84 g/km. The "Vehgan" was made from a standard older model Smart Fortwo with several technologies added to reduce fuel consumption. These include a downsized engine using a turbo and an intercooler (optimized for use with natural gas), and a powertrain mated to a Valeo StARS 14V+X hybrid system, for which the IFP developed a new management process to minimize fuel consumption.
• With Vehgan, IFP reaches CO2 emissions 32% lower than those of standard gasoline vehicles (less than 80 g/km against 118 g/km), with customer-attractive performance, improved fuel economy, and compliance with Euro 5 emissions standards.
