Fuel economy performance

<Requirements>
Smaller, lighter CVTs Downsizing of parts Expansion of gear ratio range

Measures
Adoption of auxiliary transmission Reduction of hydraulic pressure by expanding the area of pulley piston Reduction of churning resistance Addition of heater to raise CVT fluid temp. quickly

Greater demand for better fuel economy at higher driving speeds

Reduction of friction

Addition of cold-start fuel economy mode Start and stop mode

Lockup at lower temp. Idling stop & neutral idle control

Key technologies for the new CVT

These technologies reduce size and weight and improve fuel efficiency.
1
The world's first CVT with auxiliary transmission

world's highest transmission ratio

of clutch 4 Integration and sub planetary gear Total length is 10% less

2 Smaller pulleys
Compact, 13% lighter and offering higher fuel efficiency

3 Ultra-flat torque converter

Total length is 10% less

5 Less fluid churning 6 Flexible lock-up damper

Higher fuel efficiency Friction reduced by 30% for higher fuel efficiency

7 More efficient oil pump

Wider lock-up area supports higher fuel efficiency
