Summary:In co-operation with LuK as the developing partner and supplier of the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) components, Audi has succeeded in defining the benchmark for the CVT sector with its Multitronic transmission. This is also impressively documented by the constantly increasing demand for this transmission and the positive resonance it has achieved with the end users. This article describes the further possibilities for the development of the individual components — the pulley sets, the hydraulic system and the chain — based on mass-production applications with an engine torque of more than 300 Nm and a ratio spread of 6 and going up to 550 Nm with an overall ratio spread of 7 in power-split transmission structures.
