FIAT may not be common right now to North America, but they do have a big presence in other parts of the world. Now, with their investment in Chrysler, we are going to see some of their technology come to our shores and one of the interesting ones is called MultiAir. MultiAir is an innovative method of engine control that can regulate the air entering a cylinder with the engine valve opening to control Everything from engine idle to exhaust emissions. Other companies have tried this concept in the past but using different designs. One of the more successful is BMW’s Valvetronic system, which uses electric motors to move eccentrics that will vary valve lift.
