Personal mobility can provide the means for individual freedom of movement. But at the same time, it requires global environmental protection through the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. At JATCO, we began early on to focus attention on continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) because of their inherent environmental performance and potential for smooth shifting due to the absence of stepped gear ratios. Through the efforts made to expand our CVT products, we successfully developed a full CVT lineup comprising four different series. In 2009, we developed the world's first CVT that incorporates an auxiliary transmission and then developed a new CVT series in 2012 that can be applied to a wide range of vehicles from 2.0L-class midsize cars to 3.5L-class large vehicles. As a result, these two newly developed CVT series can cover the entire range of vehicle application that was previously covered by our full lineup consisting of four CVT series. This paper describes the latest technologies of these new CVTs.
