Camless Engine
Chinese carmaker Qoros has joined Koenigsegg in demonstrating a camless engine. Rather than using a traditional camshaft to control an engine's valves, the QamFree motor uses electro-hydraulic-pneumatic actuators to provide precise control over each valve for more power and a 12 to 17 percent improvement in fuel economy.

Fuel injectors are electro-hydraulic. What's your point?

They're actually just electrical. They don't use the liquid to actuate. It's just an electromagnet and spring.

I wonder if this camfree engine is an interference engine. If it's non interference than an electrical fault would be no worse than a knock. Which on modern engines is nothing.
