The Engine Valve Control system (EVC) with a high‐speed hydraulic actuator is a test device which allows a variable valve lift by driving the valve with a hydraulic actuator instead of a cam mechanism. The system offers high flexibility and high‐speed operability. The EVC system structure and recent modifications are presented here in this report. The system has been demonstrated to be a highly effective tool for engine development and combustion study through introduction to applicable engines and production experiences.
