An engine technology, Variable Valve Actuation, that alters the timing, duration, or lift of an engine's intake or exhaust valves while it is running. By adjusting valve operation to suit different engine speeds and loads, VVA systems can improve performance, fuel economy, or emissions. Systems like Honda's VTEC change valve lift and duration at a specific RPM, while others offer continuous adjustment.
