Which manufacturer produces the CVT transmission for the Baojun 510?

[Robin]

The CVT transmission of the Baojun 510 was jointly developed by SAIC Group and Bosch Netherlands. SAIC Group's major vehicle enterprises include Passenger Vehicle Company, Commercial Vehicle Company, Shanghai Volkswagen, Shanghai General Motors, SAIC-GM-Wuling, Nanjing Iveco, SAIC-Iveco Hongyan, and Shanghai Sunwin. Bosch is one of Germany's industrial enterprises, engaged in automotive and intelligent transportation technology, industrial technology, consumer goods, energy, and building technology. In 1886, when 25-year-old Robert Bosch founded the company in Stuttgart, he positioned it as a 'factory for precision mechanics and electrical engineering.' The Baojun 510 is equipped with an 8-speed CVT continuously variable transmission. A continuously variable transmission does not have specific gears. In operation, it is similar to an automatic transmission, but the change in speed ratio differs from the gear-shifting process of an automatic transmission—it is continuous, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. For the Baojun 510's CVT transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can lead to overheating and potential shocks when shifting back to D mode. Never shift into D/R mode before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming for 'smooth' operation, may shift into reverse while the car is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding or other failures. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. Automatic transmission vehicles often overheat under high loads or shift prematurely, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, use manual mode to limit lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move it onto the platform while in N mode—never use a tow rope or drag the vehicle directly.
