Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a combustion chamber, an intake tract through which air can flow, a first tank for a liquid spark-ignition fuel, a second tank for water, a mixing region, in which the spark-ignition fuel from the first tank is to be mixed with the water from the second tank thereby creating a mixture having the spark-ignition fuel and the water, an injection valve which is allocated to the combustion chamber and by which the mixture can be injected directly into the combustion chamber, and a second injection valve which is allocated to the combustion chamber and provided in addition to the injection valve and by which in relation to the water and the spark-injection fuel, only the spark-injection fuel from the first tank can be injected at a location upstream of the combustion chamber into the intake tract and thus into the air flowing through the intake tract.

Abstract: A valve train for an engine of a motor vehicle and an engine assembly with such a valve train is provided. The valve train includes at least two inlet and/or outlet valves, and at least two motorized actuating units configured to independently control the maximum valve lifts of respective ones of the valves. A first actuating unit of the at least two actuating units is associated with a first valve of the at least two valves, and a second actuating unit is associated with a second valve of the at least two valves.
