CVT
Seamless automotive drivetrain
CVT stands for continuously variable transmission, an automotive transmission that shifts seamlessly through an infinite range of gear ratios rather than stepping through fixed gears.
Unlike traditional automatics, CVTs provide smooth acceleration without the sensation of shifting: The CVT keeps the engine at optimal RPM during acceleration.
Common in fuel-efficient vehicles and scooters.
