Which company manufactures the Emgrand CVT transmission?

The Emgrand CVT transmission is manufactured by Punch Powertrain. Punch Powertrain (abbreviated as Punch) is headquartered in Sint-Truiden, Belgium, and is a supplier of energy-efficient powertrain systems. With over 50 years of experience in the design and production of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), the company also specializes in the development, production, and supply of components for hybrid vehicles (48V and plug-in hybrid PHEV) and dual-clutch transmissions (DCT). The Emgrand CVT automatic transmission utilizes a continuously variable transmission system. Unlike traditional automatic transmissions with fixed gear ratios, a CVT does not have distinct gear steps. While it operates similarly to an automatic transmission, the ratio changes continuously rather than in steps, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. For daily use of the Emgrand transmission, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged use of old transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While some experienced drivers may coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so with an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create a harsh engagement when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers attempt to shift quickly while the vehicle is still moving to showcase smooth operation, but this can cause significant gear wear and lead to grinding or other transmission failures over time. Do not frequently climb steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmission vehicles may overheat under heavy load or upshift prematurely, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Avoid long-distance towing. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in Neutral (N). Never tow the vehicle using a rope or similar method, as this can damage the transmission.
