iwis motorsysteme GmbH & Co KG, a leading global supplier of chain drive systems for the automotive industry, and AVL List GmbH, the world's largest independent company for the development, simulation and testing of drive systems, announce the conclusion of a cooperation agreement. The aim of the cooperation is the series production of a two-stage hydraulic VCR system, developed by AVL, in order to implement geometrically variable compression ratios in internal combustion engines. Helmut List, CEO AVL: "In addition to low system costs, the OEM's primary focus is on easy integration into existing engine families at minimum investment."
The collaboration will cover the entire development and production chain, and will strengthen both of the companies' leadership positions for innovative automotive solutions. Because of its modular con-rod concept, the jointly developed Dual Mode VCS™ (Variable Compression Ratio System) is easy to integrate into existing engine architectures. This makes the Dual Mode VCS technology a cost-optimized solution to further reduce CO2 emissions in fleets.
