Abstract
Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) provides a continuum of gear ratios among the desired limits. This helps the engine to work in the optimum range for more time. Traditional automatic and manual transmissions have several fixed ratios of transmission that force the engine to operate at an optimum range. The need for a transmission system has been discussed in depth and the working theory of CVT. There was an attempt to understand Hydraulic Actuators contribution, which is an integral part of a CVT. In addition, the question of how and why a conventional clutch has been replaced by a Torque Converter has been answered. Included in various high-end vehicles is a graphical comparison of fuel efficiency between a manual transmission and a CVT. Recent developments in the control of clamping force for the push belt Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) combined with improved robustness resulted in increased efficiency. Current control strategies at all times try to prevent macro slip for maximum robustness between elements and pulleys.
