The application of hydromechanical continuously variable transmission technology to a wide variety of automotive applications is made feasible by a unique design approach. Analysis indicates that the basic design scales readily to accommodate power inputs of under 7.5 kW to over 750 kW. The first prototpye has been targeted to compete in the mid-range truck and bus market segments with transmission input torques in the order of 850 N.m to 1300 N.m and a maximum torque multiplication of approximately 10:1. The problems of high cost, poor efficiency and excessive noise which prevented pripor hydromechanical units from gaining acceptance for automotive aapplications hav been eliminated or reduced to acceptable levels in the new design.
