Probably every transmission repair specialist was keen on LEGO constructions or at least enjoyed making some minor things with their hands. Here's the game taken to a new level of creativity!

Modern auto industry is full of sophisticated drivetrain technologies which are supposed to make your driving experience even more pleasant and trouble-free. Despite a great abundance of sophisticated technical solutions, it is highly likely that very few people know a transmission solution operating like a manual CVT.

Over recent years engineers developed a lot of gear shifting solutions for different car brands, which may seem a bit unusual for oldtime drivers. In this article we will review the most peculiar gear stick technologies and provide video materials related to these technologies.

Only few people know about transmission concepts which were popular 70-90 years ago. For men of today, these gearboxes may seem very unusual and weird, but even now some gearboxes that date back to those years are quite competitive in comparison with modern transmissions.

Nowadays Extroid CVTs are commonly known as “toroidal” due to the fact that the working surface of driving and driven discs in this transmission has the form of a torus. Extroid CVT is not a V-belt transmission, but a friction drive CVT.

EMOSS Mobile Systems Applies Allison 4500 Gearbox in Electric Vehicle

EMOSS Mobile Systems has designed an electric semi-truck with installed Allison 4500 gearbox that has a capacity to cover over 300 miles on one charge.


Allison has a proven record of successful application of its hybrid and electric propulsion systems which provide the increased fuel economy and lower emissions. Therefore, usage of Allison gearbox is considered to be a prime attribute to the EMOSS product. EMOSS vehicle has a 120 kWh battery case and LPG generator for battery charging and covering maximum distance. Designed to operate with 6 forward speeds under full-load condition, the Allison transmission is crucial for transporting heavy cargos and driving through complicated road sections.


Due to multiplied torque produced by Allison gearbox, requisitions on the e-motor and the battery are significantly reduced. It allows the e-motor to function in the most efficient way, cut power consumption, prolong the car’s range and promote the use of budget-friendly and space-saving parts. At present time EMOSS designs e-trucks with Allison gearboxes for usage in construction, delivery and refuse applications.
