This helps reduce pumping losses to further improve efficiency. (motor1.com)
Over the previous model, the high output valve timing contributes to the engine's output increase of 9 percent, while the added cylinder deactivation reduces pumping losses by 66 percent to help improve electrical regeneration capability by 1.7 times. (autospeed.com)
It uses an Atkinson Cycle that leaves the intake valve open longer before combustion, which helps to reduce pumping losses for increased efficiency. (fcacanada.ca)
