&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Variable [[engine displacement|displacement]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is an [[automobile]] engine technology that allows the [[engine displacement]] to change for improved fuel economy. Many automobile manufacturers have adopted this technology as of [[2005]], but it is not a new concept.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most variable displacement systems work by turning off a bank of cylinders in a [[V engine]], but the initial systems worked differently. Pioneered on [[Cadillac]]&amp;#039;s ill-fated &amp;#039;&amp;#039;L62&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;quot;V8-6-4&amp;quot; engine, the original multi-displacement system turned off opposite pairs of cylinders, allowing the engine to have three different configurations and displacements. But the system was troublesome, and the technology was quickly retired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No automaker attempted the same trick again until [[Mercedes-Benz]] experimented with their Multi-Displacement System [[V12]] in the 1990s. It was not widely deployed until the 2004 [[DaimlerChrysler]] Hemi. Other systems appeared in 2005 from [[General Motors Corporation|GM]] (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Displacement on Demand&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in the Generation IV small-block) and [[Honda]] (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Variable Cylinder Management&amp;#039;&amp;#039; on the J family engines). Honda&amp;#039;s system works by deactivating a bank of cylinders, while the Chrysler Hemi shuts off opposing pairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two issues to overcome with all of these systems is the unbalanced cooling and vibration of variable-displacement engines.&lt;br /&gt;
