Empa team develops electrohydraulically actuated cam-less valve train; up to 20% fuel savings at low load

Green Car Congress

This makes the engine highly adaptable to new renewable fuels: oxygen-containing fuels such as methanol or ethanol, for example, allow more residual gas to remain in the cylinder. The required components were manufactured by Empa’s own workshop. The FlexWork valve control needs only low-cost components.
