What is the difference between AMT and CVT
1 Answers
CVT and AMT have the following differences: 1. Different transmission methods: (1) CVT is a continuously variable transmission, which uses two sets of pulleys for speed change transmission. (2) AMT is a mechanical automatic transmission, which adds a microcomputer-controlled automatic shifting system on the basis of a manual transmission. 2. Different advantages: (1) The power output of a CVT transmission is linear, providing a very smooth driving experience. The mechanical efficiency and fuel economy of CVT transmissions are significantly better than those of conventional automatic transmissions, second only to manual transmissions, offering much better fuel efficiency. (2) AMT combines the advantages of hydraulic automatic transmissions with the high efficiency, low cost, simple structure, and ease of manufacturing of the original manual transmission gear drive.
