The transmission brand used in the 2021 Binrui is Punch. Punch Powertrain (abbreviated as Punch), headquartered in Sint-Truiden, Belgium, is a supplier of energy-efficient powertrain systems. With over 50 years of experience in the design and production of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), the company also specializes in the development, production, and supply of components for hybrid vehicles (48V and plug-in hybrid PHEV) and dual-clutch transmissions (DCT). The 2021 Binrui manual transmission uses a 6-speed manual gearbox, while the automatic transmission employs a CVT (simulating 8 speeds). A CVT does not have fixed gear ratios; it operates similarly to an automatic transmission but differs in that the gear ratio changes continuously rather than in steps, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. For the 2021 Binrui transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged neglect can damage internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While some experienced drivers may coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in an automatic can cause overheating and jerking when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers attempt quick shifts to showcase smooth handling, but this can severely damage transmission gears, leading to grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequent steep hill climbs in Drive (D). Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy load or upshift prematurely, reducing climbing power. Use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode for better transmission protection. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N). Never tow it directly using a rope or similar method.
