CVT transmissions have a lower failure rate. More relevant information is as follows: 1. CVT Transmission: The working principle of a CVT transmission is to transmit power through two conical pulleys and a steel belt. Therefore, it does not have fixed gears, although some models simulate gears. The overall driving experience with a CVT transmission is very smooth, with no jerking performance whether driving at low or high speeds. 2. DCT Transmission: A DCT transmission has two clutches, each responsible for different gears. While one clutch is engaged, the other is on standby, and rapid switching between them is controlled by a computer to achieve gear changes. As a result, dual-clutch transmissions have very fast shifting speeds, fully meeting the demands of high-speed engines.

Alipay document folder function: The Alipay mobile app has a document folder function where you can input your ID card information or driver's license information.
