What does e-CVT continuously variable transmission mean?
1 Answers
e-CVT continuously variable transmission refers to a hybrid transmission integrated with an electric motor, which is a specialized transmission for hybrid vehicles. Here is some relevant information about the e-CVT continuously variable transmission: 1. Structure: ECVT does not have complex mechanisms such as clutches, torque converters, or gear shaft sets found in traditional transmission systems. It consists of a set of planetary gears and two electric motors. 2. Principle: ECVT not only transmits power but also couples the energy of the engine and the electric motor to achieve power output. It is essentially a power combination system, specifically designed as a power distribution mechanism for hybrid vehicles, hence also referred to as PSD, or Power Split Device.
