The global automotive variable displacement engine market
is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 27% during the forecast
period. The automotive variable displacement technology has been
around for about two decades, but has seen slow growth rate through
the years. The primary intention of the for introduction of DEAC
technology is the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to
increase the fuel economy at light load conditions. The cylinder
activation technology is highly useful for vehicles with varying
load conditions. Therefore, the penetration rate of this technology
is higher in SUVs than in passenger cars.

The top three emerging trends driving the global automotive
variable displacement engine market according to Technavio research
analysts are:
- Dynamic skip fire technology
- Shift of DEAC technology toward
mid-segment and smaller segment vehicles
- Variable displacement in
motorcycles
Dynamic skip fire technology
“Volkswagen has implemented active cylinder management
technology in its Polo model in the EU; Tula Technology developed
the dynamic skip fire technology that deactivates the cylinders
continuously on a variable basis. This technology could
significantly impact the variable displacement market in the
future,” says Neelam Barua, a lead analyst at Technavio for
research on the powertrain sector.
Conventional DEAC is done by deactivating a selected number of
cylinders or a selected set of cylinders to which the sensors and
solenoid for controlling the oil pressure are connected. When the
vehicle is moving at low load conditions, only those cylinders that
are connected get deactivated. This method of deactivation makes
the DEAC technology limited to a certain amount of displacement
change, which is not flexible or dynamic.
Shift of DEAC technology toward mid-segment and smaller
segment vehicles
“Ford is planning to launch a 1.0-liter eco-boost engine with
DEAC technology by early 2018. This is going to be the world's
first three-cylinder engine with DEAC technology. The vehicle's
combustion is likely to be able to stop and reactivate in 14
milliseconds; it is also expected to reduce fuel consumption and
carbon dioxide emission by 6%,” adds Neelam.
Variable displacement engines are mostly used in
high-performance vehicles or vehicles that carry heavy loads. Most
of the vehicles that use DEAC technology have larger displacement
engines like V-6, V-8, and V-12. Previously, the use of this
technology in smaller engines was not as efficient as it is in the
larger engines.
Variable displacement in motorcycles
Heavyweight and sport motorcycles are equipped with a minimum of
two cylinders; there are also motorcycles with up to 10 cylinders.
Like other vehicles, motorcycle engines do not work at their full
load all the time. Variable displacement, therefore, has been seen
as a viable option in motorcycles as well. For instance, Honda
announced it is developing a variable displacement engine in 2008
for its premium segment motorcycles with four cylinders. This
technology is likely to have a substantial market now because of
the increasing demand for premium motorcycles in emerging markets
like India and China.
