No change in the Automotive industry has ever been risk free. However, with vehicle emissions standards becoming ever more stringent there is a growing investment in radical electrical drivetrains. Nevertheless, many believe that the ICE powertrain can be evolved to the point where the immeasurable past investment, experience and potential can be protected. Transmissions will be a major contributor when they deliver, as a product, to their full potential. This paper reports on the efforts being made in England to deliver the enabling potential of the Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT). The issues of low temperature operation, concept safety, compactness and durability, stability, efficiency v power loss, and noise are discussed as progress is being made towards the market place. There is also reference to the study of cost, which is an essential consideration for all OEM executives who will determine the long term survival of the ICE powertrain.
