Building on an earlier SAE publication, the 37 technical papers selected for this book cover updated information on a variety of topics within the area of CVTs. Although this book is not intended to represent the full body of CVT technology, it provides technical presentations and their reference documents, which can lead to discussions covering several topics of interest in CVTs. Topics covered include:

  • Belt Drive
  • Vehicle
  • Transmission
  • Belt/Variator System
  • Fluid
  • Traction Drive
  • and more
