<p>A <b>continuously variable transmission</b> (<b>CVT</b>) is an automatic <a href="page.php?w=Transmission_%28mechanical_device%29">transmission</a> that can change through a continuous range of <a href="page.php?w=Gear_train">gear ratios</a>, typically resulting in better fuel economy in gasoline applications. This contrasts with other transmissions that provide a limited number of gear ratios in fixed steps. The flexibility of a CVT with suitable control may allow the engine to operate at a constant <a href="page.php?w=angular_velocity">angular velocity</a></p><p>
