The
automotive industry has long understood the need for a versatile
CVT, but technical limitations – high cost, lack of scalability,
poor durability, and high weight – have slowed widespread
adoption of traditional CVT technology.
The NuVinci® CVP fully addresses these issues. It is infinitely scalable, costs
much less to manufacture, and is much more durable than
traditional CVTs. NuVinci technology uses the same basic production tooling to scale across
a vehicle manufacturer’s entire vehicle lineup, potentially creating an
order-of-magnitude production cost advantage over other CVTs.
Key benefits of NuVinci technology for Automotive include:
Seamless shifting over
an infinite number of ratios
Faster acceleration with better fuel economy than stepped ratio transmissions
Easier to control than traditional CVTs
Accepts multiple inputs while
varying speed and managing torque
Provides multiple power outlets
for power take off (PTO) applications
Inline output and input shafts for ease of packaging
More compact, less complex, and more
durable than traditional CVTs
Easier and less costly to manufacture than traditional CVTs
Greater scalability across product
lines with potential to reuse tooling than traditional CVTs
