ABSTRACT:
An EGR control valve is disposed on a V-type internal combustion engine such that the engine is compact as a whole. In the internal combustion engine, cylinders are provided with the cylinders spaced apart from each other in a V-shape, and exhaust gas obtained from an exhaust port of the rear cylinder is supplied to intake ports of the respective cylinders via a single EGR control valve through exhaust-gas supply channels having a branching chamber. The EGR control valve is provided in a V bank space between the cylinders. In addition, the EGR control valve is disposed at the rear of the front cylinder, so that the cooling of the EGR control valve due to exposure to the wind caused by vehicle travel is inhibited, and the exhaust gas is maintained at a high temperature during recirculation.
