Reduce Fuel Consumption Cutting emissions of the green house gas CO2 Toxic emissions which threaten air quality Outstanding power and unmatched fuel Basically, deactivating the cylinders improves fuel economy because it creates a smaller, lower-displacement engine.

Powerful Engine Fuel Efficient Produce Lower Emission Lighter Weight Engine for both performance and economical driving.

The Players of this technology are:

Honda Ford Chevy BMW

Deactivating the cylinders means that, when VCM is in operation, its the same as driving a car with a smaller, lower-displacement engine, emitting less CO2. VCM deactivates the cylinder by keeping the intake and exhaust valves in the closed position to halt fuel supply.

Variable Cylinder Management analyses the following: Engine speed Vehicle Speed Gearing What happens while deactivation? Intake and Exhaust Valves Idles on required cylinders for deactivation Zero valve lift, the cylinders are sealed No fuel is injected Pumping losses are thus reduced by as much as 65% and low fuel consumption is realized in Cars Dashboard ECO INDICATOR

With all 6 cylinders firing, you'll get to experience the full power of the new 3.5Li V6 engine.

At 4 cylinder mode, it balances both power and fuel efficient performance for a motivating drive.

While at 3 cylinder mode, fuel efficiency is maximized for a care-free driving.

The engine operates on all 6 cylinders during high-speed driving or accelerating along the Calcutta Expressway and uphill climbing to Thirupathi.

During mid-speed driving along the roads of Chennai or climbing a moderately inclined road, the 4 cylinders are activated.

City driving at the Fort, cruising downhill makes your engine run at 3 cylinders.

Otherwise called:
Displacement on Demand Cylinder Deactivation Active Cylinder Management

Conclusion:
Certainly, as more six cylinder future hybrid models become available, variable cylinder management will become common technology.
