How CVT, e-CVT and RatioZero Transmission Actually Work?
When you hear the word CVT, you probably think of one thing — a belt and two pulleys. But that’s only one version.
There’s another ‘CVT’ that doesn’t even use a belt at all — it uses planetary gears and electric motors. And now, there’s a prototype called RatioZero… that claims to eliminate belts and hybrid systems entirely — using a completely different mechanical design.
Three transmissions. Same name. Completely different engineering.
So, which one is actually smarter?
In today’s video we are taking a look at 3 different types of CVT’s how they work, what makes them unique, and which one is actually the smartest design.
That’s the real difference between CVT, eCVT, and the new RatioZero transmission. Each one solves the same problem — but in completely different ways. And as you’ve seen, the future of transmissions is clearly moving beyond traditional gear systems.
If you understood this video, you’re already ahead of 90% of people who just drive without knowing what’s happening under the hood. I break down complex automotive engineering like this— so if you want to understand how cars work, hit subscribe.
