Who is producing this?: Direct injection gasoline engine with stratified charge

The displacement of the direct injection gasoline with stratified
charge is l,991cc and it features a four-cylinder DOHC 1 6-valve
layout. Through the use of innovations such as the lean-burn
engine's cylinder internal flow control mechanism, stable
stratified combustion has been achieved over a wide range of
driving conditions. This produces substantial improvements in
fuel economy not only at normal cruising speeds but at high
speeds as well. The result is an improvement in the Japanese
10-15 mode fuel economy by more than 30% and a 10%
increase in maximum output, compared with conventional
engines. In addition, a large-volume EGR system and the
three-way catalyst of the leanburn engine have been improved for
use with fuel injection, resulting in significantly cleaner exhaust.

The Answer is:

Does This sound like an OE engine?

Clues are:
"...lean-burn engine's cylinder internal flow control mechanism, stable
stratified combustion has been achieved over a wide range of
driving conditions."

"...a large-volume EGR system and the
three-way catalyst of the leanburn engine have been improved for
use with fuel injection, resulting in significantly cleaner exhaust."

The only reference that is missing is the air assist. If they mentioned this it would have been a dead give away. What do you think?

What is the internal control mechanism they refer to? Can it not be the air and fuel injectors working independently to achieve better control of the injection/ignition sequence OE talks about in their technical papers. Maverick please comment on this.
