The RatioZero is the first industrial grade gear-based Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). It offers all the benefits of CVTs – infinite ratios, perfect matching to any engine, stepless ratio variation even under load – plus a couple of decisive advantages: an efficiency on par with gear transmissions a straightforward way to automate the transmission

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is an automated transmission that can change through a continuous range of gear ratios. 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 angular velocity while the vehicle moves at varying speeds. CVTs are used in cars, tractors, side-by-sides, motor scooters, snowmobiles, bicycles, and earthmoving equipment. The most common type of CVT uses two pulleys connected by a belt or chain; however, several other designs have also been used at times.
