For years, CVTs have been targeted at reducing vehicle fuel consumption and emissions, requiring high efficiency an sufficient ratio spread. A fun to drive is important for customer acceptance in Europe. The introduction of new transmission concepts such as 6-speed stepped automatic, auto-shift manual and dual clutch transmissions places new challenges for a state-of-the-art CVT transmission concept. Effective gear ratio can be changed through infinite numbers through continuously variable transmission (cvt) between maximum and minimum values. This is overcome on others which allow few gear ratio selections. The angular velocity of driving shaft is maintained by the flexibility of cvt. So the economy of fuel is enabling the engine speedily with most efficient resolution per minute. A belt-driven design offers approximately 88% efficiency by enabling the engine to run at its most efficient revolutions per minute (RPM) for a range of vehicle speeds. Thus this technique is useful to balance between fuel efficiency and cost of manufacturing.
