Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) |
Most conventional transmission systems control the ratio between engine speed and
wheel speed using a fixed number of metal gears. Rather than using gears, the CVTs in currently available vehicles utilize a pair of variable-diameter pulleys connected by a belt or chain that can produce an infinite number of engine/wheel speed ratios. This system has several advantages over conventional transmission designs: Seamless acceleration without the jerk or jolt from changing gears No frequent downshifting or "gear hunting" on hills Better fuel efficiency |
