Description
The Honda Civic CVCC, short for “Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion,” was a subcompact car that incorporated an innovative engine design to meet increasingly stringent emissions standards in the United States. The CVCC engine used a pre-chamber design to achieve more complete combustion, reducing emissions without requiring a catalytic converter. The CVCC engine was not only more environmentally friendly, but also more fuel-efficient than many competing engines of the time. The 1976 Honda Civic CVCC proved to be a popular and successful model, and its engine design helped pave the way for future automotive emissions control technology.
