What does CVT transmission mean?

[DelElizabeth]

CVT transmission stands for Continuously Variable Transmission. A continuously variable transmission can achieve stepless speed change within a certain speed ratio range. CVT transmissions are very common automatic transmissions, and most automatic transmission family cars use CVT transmissions. Working principle of CVT transmission: It uses a transmission belt and a variable-width pulley for power transmission, transferring power from the primary pulley to the secondary pulley, and then through the main reducer to the drive wheels to achieve power transmission. Advantages of CVT transmission: CVT transmissions are compact, simple in structure, easy to maintain, and provide good smoothness. They are mainly used in Japanese cars, Korean cars, and some domestic cars. The CVT transmission allows the engine to always operate within a reasonable speed range, so cars equipped with this transmission are generally more fuel-efficient. The CVT transmission does not have fixed gears and can continuously vary the transmission ratio. For cars, the speed changes of a CVT transmission can be faster, the performance is more balanced, and the actual driving experience is smoother.
