This paper describes the development process and the implementation of an electro-hydraulic variable valve actuation system to an HD single-cylinder research diesel engine. Because of the requirements of this special application the described development process deviates strongly from past publications. These requirements are directly derived from results of the combustion process development on an HD engine and their fulfillment by the VVA is simulated both for the mechanical design (with LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim) and the gas exchange. Finally some experimental results of the prototype system are shown.
