In the last decade, the automotive industry has undergone a paradigm shift towards
electrification. Electric vehicles have become increasingly popular, but so far, they have …

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) represent a possible sustainable solution for personal urban
transportation. Presently, the most limiting characteristic of BEVs is their short range, mainly …

Since 1996, when the first agricultural tractor with CVT transmission was shown, the
presence of this type of transmissions has been increasing. All companies offer them in their …

This paper is concerned with the shifting behavior of a metal belt CVT. The calculations are
performed for the chain belt case by using a one-dimensional model of the belt: the radial …

This paper provides a new model for the preliminary design of compound power-split CVTs.
Unlike the existing models, the presented method allows the engineers to prioritize …

Flywheel energy storage devices may be coupled to mechanical transmissions for braking
energy recovery and the provision of additional power for acceleration in hybrid vehicles …

The infinitely variable transmissions (IVT) allow the transmission ratio to vary with continuity,
offering the possibility of also reaching zero values for the transmission ratio and the motion …

Because of their outstanding advantages over other transmissions, rubber V-belt pulley
drive CVTs have been extensively used in low-power vehicles, such as scooters and …

In this paper, the power re-circulation and the torque ratio of Infinitely Variable
Transmissions (IVT) are investigated. The focus is on the gear neutral condition, which is …

In this work the performances of an infinitely variable transmissions (IVT), or rather a split-
power CVT System with a infinite ratio range, are appraised. The experimental results …
