Abstract

An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle included a crankshaft, at least one piston coupled to the crankshaft for performing strokes in a cylinder as a consequence of a rotation of the crankshaft. An eccentric shaft is coupled to the crankshaft and to the piston in such a manner that through it strokes of the piston are extendable. The internal combustion engine further includes a phase adjuster for adjusting a phase of the coupling of the eccentric shaft to the crankshaft and/or a stroke adjuster for adjusting strokes of the piston, in particular an extension of strokes of the piston by the eccentric shaft.
