![]() ![]() Belt CVTs, are now well developed technology. Successful development of a CVT promises significant fuel economy benefits, even compared with the advanced automatic transmissions due to the improved matching of engine operating regime to vehicle requirements made possible by the continuous range of transmission ratios available with a CVT. ![]() The status of conventional transmission technology is briefly examined, and the development status of continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) for automotive applications is examined in detail.
