How Jacobs 2-Step VVA works
Using Jacobs proven mechanisms, a variable lift valvetrain provides the means to meet exhaust thermal management, engine performance, and emissions needs with minimal changes to the base engine, with the goal of reducing the size and cost of the aftertreatment system leading to reduced overall system costs.
