CVT

 
 
  

The CVT technology (Continuously Variable Transmission) offers a driving comfort never experienced before in the market. The normal gear-shift procedure is no longer used. A chain passes over two conical pulleys. The distance between the pulleys can be adjusted using hydraulic control. This also varies the chain run radius and influences the transmission between engine and drive wheels. An infinitely high number of transmissions ensures that the engine is always running in an optimal operating state. LuK CVT components (pulleys, link-plate chain and hydraulics) now represent the first high-performance CVT working on the chain drive principle that can be used for powerful engines with a torque range of up to 380 Newton metres.

Advantages

  • high level of driving comfort through jolt-free transmission change, i.e. no switching between the different gear ratios
  • low fuel consumption through large transmission-ratio spread
  • extremely good driving dynamics through the avoidance of tractive power interruption
  • compact construction
