Clean - Efficient - Power

At YAN Engines, we are developing Differential stroke-Cycle piston technology (D-Cycle)
that will enable manufacturers to make their engines with higher power-density and more fuel efficient.

How it WorksYAN successfully completed a 6 month pilot program for a major passenger vehicle manufacturer. This program targeted an SUV engine prioritized for future growth. The D-Cycle was successful in driving an over 20% savings for the engine at full load and therefore a substantial savings for the standard Watch PromoYAN successfully completed a 6 month pilot program for a major passenger vehicle manufacturer.
