CVT is an abbreviation for "Continuously Variable Transmission." Conceptually, the CVT is flawless. Because the transmission ratio changes continuously, it might be thought of as an automatic gearbox with an unlimited gear range. Consequently, the optimal ratio can be selected at any time to simultaneously enhance performance and reduce power consumption. The concept is deceptively straightforward, but putting it into practice is challenging. NSK in Japan developed a CVT based on the idea of the friction cars, called the powertoros unit, and the CVT transmission, a specialist company in the Netherlands, is responsible for the invention of the "Variomatic," which is used in the DAF and later in the VOLVO 55, 66, and the 340. The development of CVTs has taken more than a century.
