Q&A

San Jose-based Tula Technology is best known for its innovative Dynamic Skip Fire technology. DSF uses sophisticated firing-control algorithms to adjust, on a cycle by cycle basis, the effective displacement of an IC engine. It's been proven on over a half-million GM V8s, providing optimum efficiency at each load point. DSF is considered a high-value solution for reducing CO2 emissions and for extending the ICE's market viability.
