A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is a type of automatic transmission that provides seamless acceleration without the distinct gear shifts found in traditional transmissions. Instead of fixed gears, a CVT uses a system of pulleys and a belt to adjust the gear ratio continuously, allowing the engine to operate at its most efficient RPM. This technology enhances fuel efficiency and provides a smoother driving experience. Many modern vehicles, including those from manufacturers like Honda and Toyota, utilize CVTs to improve performance and reduce emissions, making them popular choices for environmentally conscious consumers.
