What do DCT and CVT mean in cars?
1 Answers
Here is an introduction to CVT and DCT: 1. Introduction to CVT: CVT refers to a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. The difference between CVT and a stepped transmission is that its gear ratio is not a series of discrete points but a continuous range of values, thereby achieving good fuel economy, power performance, and smooth driving, while also reducing emissions and costs. 2. Introduction to DCT: DCT is the abbreviation for Dual-Clutch Transmission, directly translated in Chinese as 'dual-clutch transmission' (the same as DSG 'Direct-Shift Gearbox', but DSG is only the term used by Volkswagen). Because it operates through two sets of clutches, it is generally referred to as a dual-clutch transmission.
