Michigan Startup Seeks to Develop Compressed Natural Gas Cars

Daryl Patrishkoff of Shelby Township, MI, has a vision for the American automotive industry, and light duty fleets may be taking note.

He firmly believes that the fuel of choice for the U.S. should be Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), not gasoline – and he is off and running.

Patrishkoff heads up a three-person technical team developing this technology.

According to Patrishkoff, the advantages are:

• 40 percent savings in fuel costs at the pump
• 25-30 percent reduction in harmful emissions
• 100 percent US provided natural gas Meaningful employment for the US economy

The most important benefit, however, he stressed “is that a CNG-powered vehicle runs on fuel that can be mined in America.”

Convincing the country to move forward with CNG autos is up next.

Patrishkoff and his team, known as Performance CNG, LLC are trying to change that.

Patrishkoff invested his own money and received support from his partners, local automotive companies, friends and family. This Bi-Fueled Mustang Muscle Car was unveiled last year at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Royal Oak, MI.
