Go from idling to full load twice as fast.

Want to know what it takes? Valve Control Management (VCM ) is intelligent turbo charging that responds adaptively to change valve timing so that your engine always has the ideal air-to-fuel ratio. And since VCM increases engine efficiency by optimizing engine configuration for every type of load, it can take an engine from idling to full load twice as fast as it normally takes – in some cases even more quickly. The resulting lower thermal load and exhaust gas temperature will also make your equipment more reliable and durable and reduce pollution at the same time. www.abb.com/turbocharging
