Is CVT Type an Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
CVT belongs to automatic transmission. Vehicle transmissions can be divided into two major categories: manual transmission and automatic transmission. The automatic transmission can be further subdivided into four types: AT (automatic transmission), AMT (semi-automatic transmission), DTC (dual-clutch transmission), and CVT (continuously variable transmission). Advantages and disadvantages of CVT continuously variable transmission: 1. Advantages: Since there are no transmission gears like in conventional automatic transmissions, the accompanying gearshift jerks are eliminated. Therefore, the power output of CVT transmission is linear, providing an exceptionally smooth driving experience in practice. 2. Disadvantages: Compared to traditional automatic transmissions, CVT has not been applied in vehicles for a long time. There are still few CVT-equipped vehicles in the domestic market, which means the maintenance cost of CVT is relatively high, and the probability of problems arising from improper operation is higher.
