What is CVT?
1 Answers
CVT is a transmission. Below is expanded information about automatic transmissions: 1. Types of automatic transmissions: There are three common types of automotive transmissions, namely hydraulic automatic transmission (referred to as AT), continuously variable transmission (referred to as CVT), and electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission (referred to as AMT). Currently, AT is the most commonly used in passenger vehicles on the market. 2. Function: The main function of an automatic transmission is to transform the engine's output into a wide range of speed variations delivered to the drive wheels. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations; whereas automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of torque converters, planetary gears, and hydraulic control systems, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations.
