CVTtyyppiset

CVTtyyppiset is a term used in Finnish to describe a type of continuous variable transmission (CVT) used in automotive applications. Unlike traditional manual or automatic transmissions, CVTtyyppiset systems use a belt or chain to transmit power from the engine to the wheels, allowing for a wide range of gear ratios without the need for discrete gears.

The primary advantage of CVTtyyppiset systems is their ability to provide smooth and seamless power delivery across a wide range of engine speeds and vehicle speeds. This is achieved by varying the diameter of the pulleys or sprockets in the transmission, which changes the gear ratio. This design eliminates the need for clutch engagement and disengagement, reducing wear and tear on the transmission components.

CVTtyyppiset systems are commonly used in small to mid-size cars, as well as in some trucks and buses. They are appreciated for their smooth operation and fuel efficiency, although they may lack the torque response and durability of traditional automatic transmissions.

In Finland, CVTtyyppiset systems have gained popularity due to their advantages in terms of fuel efficiency and smooth operation. However, they are not without their drawbacks, such as potential noise and vibration issues, and a lack of torque response at low speeds. As with any transmission type, the suitability of a CVTtyyppiset system depends on the specific vehicle and driving conditions.
