The Freevalve concept, also known as fully variable valve actuation, offers the unique ability to have independent control of the intake and exhaust valves in an internal combustion engine.

For any engine load criteria, the timing of intake and exhaust can be independently programmed. Using artifical intelligence, the system can then inteligently “decide” based on perceived driving conditions which one to use to maximize performance or minimize fuel consumption and emissions. This allows a greater degree of control over the engine which in turn provides significant performance benefits.

While the fully variable valve actuation concept has been widely tested, no manufacturer has been able to implement it in large scale production due to various technical problems along with packaging disadvantages and higher cost. The Freevalve technology shows great promise of overcoming these challenges in a cost-effective way.
