Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) is Honda's term for its variable displacement technology, which saves fuel by using the i-VTEC system to disable one bank of cylinders during specific driving conditions—for example, highway driving. The second version of VCM (VCM-2) took this a step further, allowing the engine to go from 6 cylinders, down ...
Active Fuel Management (formerly known as displacement on demand (DoD)) is a trademarked name for the automobile variable displacement technology from General Motors.It allows a V6 or V8 engine to "turn off" half of the cylinders under light-load conditions to improve fuel economy.
The oldest engine technological predecessor for the variable-displacement engine is the hit and miss engine, developed in the late 19th century.These single-cylinder stationary engines had a centrifugal governor that cut the cylinder out of operation so long as the engine was operating above a set speed, typically by holding the exhaust valve open.
Daimler AG's Active Cylinder Control (ACC) is a variable displacement technology. It debuted in 2001 on the 5.8 L V12 in the CL600 and S600.Like Chrysler's later Multi-Displacement System, General Motors' Active Fuel Management, and Honda's Variable Cylinder Management, it deactivates one bank of the engine's cylinders when the throttle is closed.
The Honda Marine BF350 is Honda's first commercially available V8. The water-cooled outboard motor is designed for 25-feet+ boats. The water-cooled outboard motor is designed for 25-feet+ boats. It has a displacement of 4952 cc (302 ci) and produces 350 HP at 5500 RPM.

The Honda Accord Coupe concept car was unveiled at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. It previewed the production 2-door model with i-VTEC VCM V6 engine and Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure. [5] A hybrid version would no longer be offered, as Honda felt their "hybrid system works better on smaller cars". [6]
