Can a CVT Transmission Handle Driving in Tibet?
1 Answers
CVT transmissions are not suitable for driving in Tibet. The reasons are as follows: 1. Reason one: There is no explosive acceleration range, making it unsuitable for aggressive driving and high-speed conditions. 2. Reason two: The low oxygen levels at high altitudes result in insufficient engine power, causing the engine's rotational speed to be inadequate. Relevant information about CVT transmissions is as follows: 1. Structure: Mainly consists of two sets of pulleys (drive pulley and driven pulley), a transmission belt (steel belt), oil pump, torque converter, actuating mechanism (valve body, oil circuit), sensors, and computer. 2. Function: It can achieve continuously variable transmission over a wide range, obtaining the best match between the transmission system and engine conditions. By relying on the transmission's stepless speed regulation to adapt to various vehicle speeds, the engine can operate under optimal conditions for extended periods, thereby improving combustion efficiency and fuel economy.
