    Abstract: A camshaft assembly for a vehicle valvetrain having first and second engine valves includes a camshaft, and a first camshaft cartridge axially displaceable along the camshaft and including a plurality of first cam lobes configured to selectively impart movement to the first engine valve. A second camshaft cartridge is axially displaceable along the camshaft and includes a plurality of second cam lobes configured to selectively impart movement to the second engine valve. An actuator is configured to axially displace the first camshaft cartridge along the camshaft. A coupling is between the first camshaft cartridge and the second camshaft cartridge. Axial displacement of the first camshaft cartridge selectively imparts movement to the second camshaft cartridge for axial displacement of the second camshaft cartridge.
