Novel Fixed Pitch Continuously Variable Transmission for High Torque Applications

Green Car Congress

To address these problems, the FPCVT has only two points of contact per chain, one on the power side and one on the load side allowing for ratio shifts while positively engaged. Multiple chains provide multiple contact points to keep the power and load sides connected during a complete rotation. FPCVT website.

ECONAMIQ: Flexible over-expansion with cylinder deactivation can reduce ICE fuel consumption by up to 20%

Green Car Congress

By over-expanding into adjacent de-activated cylinders, ECONAMIQ creates an additional power stroke within the existing engine architecture, with a significant thermal efficiency increase and cost savings as a result. Using the virtual simulation environment GT-Power, this cycle is applied to a 4-cylinder SI engine.
