Gasoline engine technologies focused on multiple benefit

Abstract

Multiple benefit can be obtained in various ways in gasoline engine development through the consequent persual of this as goal. With the AVL-CBR 3 system, for example, the total cost can be significantly reduced by integrating the functionality of variable charge motion directly into the residual gas control by cam phaser. The AVL DGI-tc fuel economy and fun-to-drive concept achieved through uncompromising exploitation of the synergy effects between direct injection, cam phase shifter, turbocharging and exhaust valve masking increases customer benefits disproportionately greater than the increase in cost incurred.
