What does Honda's hybrid E-CVT transmission mean?
1 Answers
The following is an analysis of Honda's hybrid E-CVT transmission: 1. The E-CVT transmission in Toyota's hybrid system is not a traditional CVT but rather a complex gear set. 2. Due to its gear structure, there is no "slipping" phenomenon as in traditional CVTs. It features a fully meshed transmission mechanism, making it more capable of handling high torque compared to conventional CVTs. 3. Structurally, Toyota's E-CVT has no relation to a traditional CVT. However, its smooth shifting experience resembles that of a CVT, hence the name E-CVT.
