Their research has produced an electromotor valve gear that combines the advantages of variable mechanical valve gears with those of electromechanical valve gears. A dSPACE prototyping system was used for laboratory tests. For many years, automobile manufacturers have been working on designing variable control times and vari- able lift in gas exchange valves.
