What is the difference between Toyota ECVT and CVT?
1 Answers
The differences between Toyota ECVT and CVT are as follows: 1. In terms of transmission structure, CVT is simpler than E-CVT: The CVT transmission structurally consists of two sets of cone wheels and a drive belt, and the entire transmission cannot be directly connected to the engine. The structure of E-CVT is very simple, and its main components include four major parts: the outer ring gear, planetary carrier, planetary gears, and sun gear. The outer ring gear is connected to the MG2 motor, the planetary carrier is connected to the engine, and the sun gear is connected to the MG1 motor. 2. In terms of clutch: CVT has a clutch while ECVT does not. Additionally, the engine and the two motors are continuously coupled by the planetary gears, so there is no jerking at any speed, whether low or high.
