Development of Fluids for Chain Type CVTs

In the area of transmissions, continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) have been adopted for cars with various engine displacements mainly in Japan and North America because of their better fuel economy and smooth shift feeling. Continuously variable transmission fluids (CVTFs) with lower viscosit...
