Abstract

Variable valve timing to improve the torque and fuel consumption characteristics of gasoline engines is increasingly used in production engines. A basic decision-making criterion for the market launch of these concepts, in addition to marketing aspects, is the use/cost benefit of the different systems. In the following, some valve train concepts developed and tested at FEV Motorentechnik will be introduced. In addition, the use of variable valve trains for engines with controlled auto ignition as well as for boosted engine concepts will be discussed.
