The systems that will be used for road cars will use hydraulic actuators, as opposed to pneumatic ones used in F1.

The F1 engines still use cams, whereas these systems will not use cams at all.

The objective of this technology is not outright power though high-revs. On the contrary (just like all engine techs these days) the objective is to reduce fuel consumption.

The idea is that each valve of each cylinder will be controlled individually by the CPU, allowing more exact airflow management. This will allow HCCI combustion (the DiesOtto technology) along with EGR.

I expect engines to keep the redline where it is now and reduce fuel consumption. Maybe a slight increase in power will help market this technology better.

I will try and find an article on Lotus proActive magazine that explains this tech. Lotus Engineering sold this tech to Eaton.
