Combining the structural features of cam engines and opposed engines, a kind of opposed cam piston engine is designed, in which a kind of variable sine curves family applied to the cam working surface. Based on the structure of this engine, a thermodynamic zero-dimensional model of the working cycle was established, and the accuracy of it was verified by the numerical simulation model utilizing the engine simulation software AVL BOOST. Based on the zero-dimensional model, the changes in the pressure, temperature, and quality of the working fluid in the cylinder under different cam profiles were calculated, and on this basis, the engine’s thermal efficiency, mechanical efficiency, overall machine efficiency, and power per liter were solved. Compared with common civil vehicle engines, OCPE has higher power per liter and has better economic performance and power performance.
