Engine Efficiency and Performance Enhancements
-
Variable Valve Timing (VVT): VVT systems adjust the timing of valve openings and closings to optimize performance across different engine speeds. This technology improves fuel efficiency, power output, and emissions.
-
Advanced Engine Control Units (ECUs): Modern diesel engines use sophisticated ECUs to manage various engine functions, including fuel injection, turbocharging, and emissions control. These ECUs use data from sensors to optimize engine performance and efficiency.
-
Cylinder Deactivation: Some diesel engines can deactivate certain cylinders under low-load conditions to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. This technology improves overall fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance.
