Does BYD Use ECVT Transmissions?

ECVT transmissions offer excellent quality and performance with good durability. A transmission can alter a vehicle's gear ratio, enabling forward and reverse movement, as well as interrupting engine power transmission to allow neutral gear operation. This permits drivers to exit the vehicle while the engine remains running. Transmissions consist of transmission mechanisms and control mechanisms. The E-CVT continuously variable transmission refers to a hybrid transmission integrated with electric motors, specifically designed for hybrid vehicles. Currently, it's installed in numerous models including the Accord Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, and Buick LaCrosse Hybrid. However, E-CVT differs completely from conventional CVT in mechanism - while E-CVT can achieve continuously variable transmission functionality, it's more accurately described as a power distribution system rather than a traditional transmission. Important notes for E-CVT transmissions: When towing, the front wheels must be lifted off the ground (suspended towing) rather than being directly pulled by tow ropes. In engine-off condition, the transmission lacks oil pressure, and towing could cause steel belt slippage resulting in fatal damage to the transmission.
