The aim of this paper is to summarize and consolidate the optimization and improvements in engine types, new technologies, and existing technologies over the past few years. Additionally, it effectively analyzes the impact of improved engines on automotive performance and driving experience. Regarding direct-injection technology, this paper primarily highlights the new technology in the field of natural gas direct-injection engines. Among these, high-pressure direct-injection natural gas engines excel in improving fuel economy and emissions, effectively suppressing the limitations of knocking on such engines' output power. On the other hand, low-pressure direct-injection natural gas engines exhibit lower injection pressures when the engine is in the intake stroke. Concerning variable valve timing technology, the study investigates parameters such as the angle adjustment of the variable valve timing mechanism, unlocking methods, and unlocking pressures. Furthermore, the dual VVT-I technology enhances intake efficiency, ensuring ample torque output within the low and mid-range RPMs, guaranteeing sufficient power performance in various operating conditions. In today's rapidly advancing industrial technology landscape, many technologies have made significant progress. However, the current societal trend is moving towards energy conservation and carbon reduction, gradually phasing out traditional engines from the historical stage. The future development trend will be new energy engines, such as new energy materials like pure electric, hydrogen, and natural gas. Additionally, artificial intelligence will rapidly emerge in various industries.
