What is the design lifespan of Toyota's CVT with simulated 10-speed?
1 Answers
Toyota's CVT with simulated 10-speed has a design lifespan of over 300,000 kilometers. Simulated 10-speed: Simulated 10-speed refers to the transmission having 10 forward gears during operation. This CVT transmission is a continuously variable transmission under automatic transmissions, featuring numerous gear ratios and operating with just two sets of pulleys. Differences between CVT and traditional vehicle transmissions: CVT transmissions differ from traditional vehicle transmissions by eliminating complex gear shifting mechanisms, enhancing engine performance, and improving coordination between the transmission system and the engine. This approach primarily aims to boost engine power and fuel efficiency, thereby reducing vehicle fuel consumption.
