What type of transmission does the RAV4 use?
1 Answers
RAV4 uses two types of transmissions: one is a CVT transmission, and the other is an E-CVT transmission. The principles of these two transmissions are introduced as follows: Principle of CVT transmission: In a CVT transmission system, traditional gears are replaced by a pair of pulleys and a steel belt. Each pulley is actually a V-shaped structure composed of two conical discs. The engine shaft is connected to the small pulley, which drives the large pulley through the steel belt. Principle of E-CVT transmission: E-CVT is not a CVT transmission; the two are completely different concepts. Strictly speaking, the E-CVT (continuously variable transmission) cannot be called a transmission in the traditional sense. The principle of E-CVT: It achieves the 'fusion' of engine power and motor power through a set of planetary gears.
