Honda established another benchmark in fuel saving technologies by re-inventing the internal combustion engine design and implementing the Variable Cylinder Management technology to deliver the most outstanding power without actually affecting the fuel economy. Combined with the brilliant i-VTEC Engine, this technology can save fuel considerably while reducing the CO2 emissions and particularly most useful during long distance traveling.
This technology works according to the driving habits and conditions. VCM automatically deactivates 1 out of 3 or 1 out of 2 cylinders in case of 6 cylinder engine. The technology closes the valves in two or three cylinders as per the need and stops the fuel supply so that these cylinders do not involve in combustion process. Technically, this makes the engine smaller, producing required output and reducing the CO2 emissions. The technology operates based on seven different driving conditions and in three stages. Normally for city cruising, when the power requirements are not much, combustion from three cylinders out of six is enough to fulfil the required speed. Even while braking, the effect remains the same keeping three of the cylinders inactive.
