* **Continuously Optimized Engine Speed:** CVTs allow the engine to operate at its most efficient RPM, regardless of the vehicle's speed, maximizing fuel economy.
* **Engine Braking:** CVTs can also lack the engine braking effect associated with conventional gearboxes, which some drivers find essential for controlling speed on descents.

* **The Conical Pulley:** The invention of the conical pulley, employing a variable-diameter design, allowed for a continuous and precise adjustment of gear ratios. This system proved remarkably efficient and provided a seamless power flow.
2. **Acceleration:** During acceleration, the variable pulley contracts, increasing the gear ratio, providing more power to the wheels.
* **The Electronic Control Unit (ECU):** The introduction of the ECU, acting as the brain of the CVT, enabled sophisticated control over gear ratios, adapting to driving conditions and maximizing performance and fuel economy.
