No it is driven by a drive shaft. The cam is driven by a chain.
Some innovative alternatives to traditional chain-driven bicycles include electric bikes, belt-driven bikes, shaft-driven bikes, and friction drive bikes. These alternatives offer different benefits such as reduced maintenance, smoother rides, and increased efficiency.
chain drive
With a chain drive the driven wheel will always rotate in the same direction as the drive wheel, but in a gear drive the direction of rotation will change between drive wheel and driven wheel.

Chainless shaft drive bicycles offer benefits such as reduced maintenance, cleaner operation, and smoother riding experience compared to traditional chain-driven bicycles.
A shaft-driven bicycle has advantages over a chain-driven bicycle in terms of lower maintenance, cleaner operation, and smoother ride. The shaft drive system requires less maintenance as it does not need regular lubrication or cleaning like a chain does. Additionally, it keeps the bike cleaner as there is no exposed chain to collect dirt and grime. The shaft drive also provides a smoother and quieter ride compared to a chain, making it a more comfortable option for cyclists.
A shaft-driven bike has advantages over a chain-driven bike in terms of lower maintenance, cleaner operation, and smoother ride. The shaft drive system requires less maintenance as it is enclosed and protected from dirt and debris, resulting in a longer lifespan. Additionally, the shaft drive system does not require lubrication like a chain, making it cleaner and less messy. Lastly, the shaft drive system provides a smoother and quieter ride compared to a chain, enhancing the overall riding experience.
The 2000 and older Corsa 1.2 engines have a belt driven cam. The 2001 and newer models use a chain drive.
To convert a chain drive to a belt drive system, you will need to remove the existing chain and sprockets, and replace them with a belt and pulleys. Ensure that the new belt and pulleys are compatible with your system and properly aligned for efficient operation. Make any necessary adjustments to tension and alignment to ensure smooth and reliable performance of the belt drive system.
