EN | Bosch Cylinder Deactivation - Continuous Power, less fuel consumption

The Bosch cylinder deactivation facilitates the deactivation of not required cylinders within part-load operations in almost every gasoline engine. This saves fuel and thus reduce CO2-output.

When the driving situation allows for cylinders to be deactivated -- e. g. upon marginal requirements on the motorway -- the engine is made ready for switching off some of the cylinders. For the still active cylinders, that means having to help generate the torque otherwise contributed by the deactivated ones.
As a result of the shift of the load point and due to the partially deactivated charge exchange, the fuel consumption and the CO2-output are reduced.

When driving requirements demand the cylinders to be reactivated, for an overtaking maneuver for instance, this occurs within just milliseconds. Engine activities are carried out in a torque-neutral manner, imperceptible for the passengers in the vehicle.
Cylinder deactivation is a highly effective measure to reduce fuel consumption and CO2-output of combustion engines while meeting the most stringent demands for driving dynamics and comfort.
