Engineering Explained covers the difference and many of the dos and don't associated with ownership of either an e-CVT or a conventional one with a belt. Honestly, there's not a lot you should avoid.

He explained that the key to Fallbrook’s NuVinci CVT template is the use of what he called “balls and discs” to replace the gears used in a traditional transmission.

Considering its recently rising popularity amongst automakers, the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) might seem like new technology to some. However, Leonardo da Vinci had already ...

The CVT - continuously variable transmission - uses a belt or chain between two sets of pulleys that vary in diameter and has a theoretical infinite variety of ratios. CVTs are used by a number of ...

CVT automatic transmissions offer quicker acceleration, smoother shifting, while delivering maximum gas mileage and power out of an engine.

CVTs can be an adjustment from traditional automatic transmissions, and one of the common complaints is shuddering when accelerating or changing gears.

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) seeks to overcome this by offering an infinite number of gear ratios between a transmission's upper and lower ratio limit.

What is a continuously variable transmission? Is it better to drive, more reliable, more efficient, or better than an automatic?

The two most common types of transmissions are manual and automatic. But there is a third type called a continuously variable transmission (CVT). CVTs have been around since the late 1980s but are now ...
