yeah..

let us pray FIAT merge with p1!!!!

The system should be cheaper (single cam) and the hydraulic system is very flexible.

as an example, the common-rail diesel injection system revolutionize the diesel engine. previously diesel injection uses mechanical system similar to camshaft. such system only permits single injection per cycle. with the common-rail system, multi-injection/cycle is possible for the first time and this makes diesel engine quiet, powerful, and clean.

after seeing this, other systems from toyota, honda, BMW, Nissan, etcs…. they are so outdated!

that is why a smaller scale car manufacturer lie p1 cannot survive alone..

let say they only have half of the moneys invested by the big car company for r&d, we can say the smaller car company have to be two times smarter to be able to compete with company like FIAT..haha..other wise, forever company like p1 cannot compete directly or become as big as the others..

the system require normal camshaft just to give mechanical pulse to the valve reaction but on the middle of the reaction chain there is an interuption or manipulation of hydrolic pressure mechanism(reduce or increase or regulating its presure valve) which ultimately controlled the valve lift and duration.

and what the most unique about this feature is the alteration of valve DURATION which is really flexible in every manner ,even 2 event can pulsed at one time, it is a matter of reducing the hydraulic pressure in the middle of the event and close it back quickly to regain the pressure for another second lift.

so far a fine tuning of intake valve duration cant be done by other technology i think. (correct me)

this will further creating more efficient engine,

and another different compared to vvt, if vvt early opening it will have to early closing, but with this it can be late openeing but early colsing,

thats mean another parameter of engine breathing is created that will further enhanced the engine efficiency.

im not sure its capable of valvematic capability, it can act in simillar way at least if not batter, but the most important is ,its a new way of how the engine breath contributed by a more fine tune/variable of valve DURATION.

Nice innovation. KUDOS.

Fully independent system is still in testing as its not reliable enough for now.

just not sure about the additional weight(after all, a cam is lighter than that mechanism) vs. improved power output justify the advancement. there r other ways to reduce emission tho, perhaps water injection + light turbo boost to achive similar result?

Now it is only in intake valve, but i think it can be implemented on the exhaust valve also. By using this kind of technology, i think the engine can be tune from a economy engine into a high rev engine by just adjusting the ECU which control the valve lift! Wow.. i can see a lot of tuning opportunities from this engine..
