Koenigsegg is known for its exclusiveness, but more than that, it is known for its extreme performance, drivability, and environmentally conscious way of thinking. That is why Freevalve has partnered up with Koenigsegg in hopes of one day implementing its new valve control technology into afuture vehicle from Koenigsegg.
As you will see from watching this recently released video from Freevalve, each valve is individually actuated using electro-hydraulic-pneumatic actuators. Previous attempts at this kind of technology haven’t necessarily failed, but it came with technical problems, packing disadvantages, and a cost much higher than that of using the traditional camshaft. Various manufacturers have tried systems that use electromagnetic or electro-hydraulic actuators, but neither setup was viable for use on a large scale.
So, what makes Freevalve’s system so different, what are the benefits, and what about the reliability factor? Watch the short video in its entirety, then read on to learn a little more about the system.
