From an Australian auto website:

"The belt-operated design of a CVT offers around 88% proficiency, although, considerably smaller than the efficiency of a manual transmission, can be balanced by lower creation cost and by empowering the motor to keep running at its most efficient speed for a scope of output speeds.

A lot of vehicle models and brands now use CVT transmission for their engines or motors, some of these car brands and models include:

Toyota: Toyota Prius, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Mark X, Toyota Allion, Toyota Premio, and Toyota Avalon. Subaru: Subaru Legacy, Subaru Crosstrek, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Outback and Subaru Forester. Nissan: Nissan Sunny, Nissan Cube, Nissan Juke, Nissan X-trail, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Rogue, Nissan Murano, and Nissan Pathfinder. Honda: Honda Fit, Honda CR-Z hybrid, Honda Accord, and Honda Civic. Ford: Ford C-Max (hybrid). Suzuki: S-Cross SX4, and Suzuki Kizashi. Dodge: Dodge Caliber. Chrysler: Pacifica hybrid. Jeep: Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot."

The have a nice picture showing the belt too. And they must be right, because they are from the land of kangaroos. BTW, isn't it time for you to get off the internet for at least a few minutes and go feed them?

Way back in the late 80s on Subaru Justy - and even earlier on the dutch DAF (now part of Volvo?)

A lot of multi-speed automatics are actuallyprogrammed CVTs - like the Toyota Corolla S type? which acts just luke a 6 speed ? automatic.

They've been around a long time.

They are push belts. They don't pull like you might think.

Much higher pressures in the hydraulics is one.

Yes there is. It is a metal push belt.

Here, go educate yourself;

They are if they are Jatco.

Neither do you.

You're wrong again Rod. People do not like the rubber band effect of a CVT. That's why manufacturers have indexed shift points now.

Rod's none too bright. ;-)

Conceptually identical Rod. Not surprised you can't see it.

FWIW, the original automotive CVT, the DAF, did use rubber pull belts.

Ah, the standard Rod Speed troll response when he's been done like a dinner. Who wouldn't have expected that?
