What does Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) mean?
1 Answers
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is a type of transmission without fixed gear ratios. Expanded relevant information is as follows: 1. The biggest difference between CVT and ordinary automatic transmission is that CVT eliminates the complex and bulky gear combination for speed change transmission, using only two sets of pulleys for speed variation. 2. CVT can be divided into variable-angle CVT and traditional CVT. 3. CVT changes speed by altering the contact radius of the drive belt between the driving pulley and the driven pulley. CVT can achieve continuous changes in the transmission ratio, obtaining the best match between the transmission system and the engine's working conditions, improving the vehicle's fuel economy and power performance, and enhancing the driver's operational convenience and passengers' riding comfort.
