ECONAMIQ: Flexible over-expansion with cylinder deactivation can reduce ICE fuel consumption by up to 20%

Green Car Congress

The company presented its first results at the annual ASME ICEF (Internal Combustion Engine Fall) conference in Chicago. An adaption of cylinder de-activation technique called ECONAMIQ over-expansion can be applied to engines to improve fuel efficiency. In addition, engine vibrations are reduced during cylinder deactivation.
