Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is a type of automatic transmission that provides seamless and stepless gear ratio changes, allowing for a smooth acceleration without discrete gear shifts. Unlike traditional automatic transmissions with a fixed number of gears, CVTs offer an infinite number of gear ratios within a certain range, enabling the engine to operate at its most efficient point for a given driving condition. The main components of a CVT include a belt or chain, variable-width pulleys, and a control system. The belt or chain connects two variable-width pulleys—one connected to the engine and the other to the wheels. By adjusting the width of the pulleys, the effective diameter changes, altering the gear ratio. In a CVT, as the vehicle … Continue reading Continuously Variable Transmission: Advantages and Disadvantages
