Sanyo and Mitsubishi Heavy Industry supply GHP systems. Basically the car engine runs the compressor instead of an electric motor. Everything outside the condensor is pretty much the same as a VRF. There are several installs around Dublin.

Trade info from Sanyo's site http://uk.sanyo.com/aircon/Products/Gas-driven-VRF/GHP---Introduction/

I'm pretty sure CIBSE Journal had an info piece some time ago.
