This report is a paper study of the fuel economy benefits on the EPA City and Highway Cycles of using a CVT in a 3625 lb. car and compact light truck. The baseline vehicles are viewed as being equipped with contemporary four-speed automatic transmissions with lock-up torque converters (4SAT). The engines are each three liters in displacement, four valves per cylinder for the car and two valves for the truck, each with sequential port fuel injection and electronic throttle control The continuously variable transmission selected for the study was a modified Van Doorne push belt type, termed the Dual Mode.
