What is the difference between CVT and eCVT?
1 Answers
The differences between CVT and eCVT are: Different structures: CVT consists of two sets of pulleys and drive belts, oil pump, torque converter, actuator, and sensors; eCVT is composed of a set of planetary gears and two motors. Different power schemes: CVT is an ordinary mechanical continuously variable transmission; eCVT achieves continuously variable transmission by integrating motors and belongs to a power distributor. Different working principles: In CVT technology, Motor 2 is responsible for starting, low-speed driving, and hybrid driving, while Motor 1 is responsible for starting the engine and generating electricity; eCVT transmits power while coupling the energy of the engine and the motor to achieve power output, making it a power combination system.
