CO₂ reduction for the masses.
From passenger cars to motorsport
Passenger cars
Ease of implementation combined with low cost (15-20 euro per g CO₂/km) means that our VCR technology can have a big impact on global CO₂ reduction.
Scooter and motorcycle
(1 cylinder)
The hugely popular low cost motorcycle in Asia represents a massive market. These 1 cylinder motorcycles are extremely fuel efficient, with an average fuel consumption of 50 km/liter. Equipped with a VCR crankshaft the fuel consumption will reduce further by 10%.
Motorsport
Optimized Compression ratio combined with an up to 8% longer expansion stroke compared to the intake stroke gives a 4% power and efficiency increase which can make all the difference on the track.
zero impact on existing engine architecture
fully variable, high speed actuation
8% CO₂ reduction in the WLTC at low cost
minimum additional production costs
very low load on VCR gears
no additional friction
true 4-stroke cycle
more power at low compression ratio
no gear noise
