Cylinder Deactivation Technology

Deactivating cylinders in a diesel engine makes little sense unless you can actually stop them (I mean, stop the pistons and valves). <br /> <br />Gasoline engines waste some power while aspirating at partial loads (because of the throttle valve); cylinder deactivation reduces these power losses. Diesel engines have no throttle valve so there's no power to save in there. <br />
