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.

Allison’s Feature Helps Reducing Fuel Consumption on International MV Series


Allison’s Feature Helps Reducing Fuel Consumption on International MV Series

International Truck has recently announced that Allison Transmission’s Neutral at Stop feature will be an efficient addition to the International MV Series, starting from the next year.


Thanks to this solution, the gearbox independently shifts to N gear when the car is not moving. This removes the load on the engine when the car is motionless, thereby decreasing the level of fuel usage as well as the amount of harmful emissions. Allison claims that Neutral at Stop can decrease the level of emissions by up to 6% in urban vehicles in contrast with 2018 base line. This useful mechanism blocks the output when the car stops moving to prevent it from unintentional motion.


Allison 1000 HS transmission


According to the truck manufacturer, integration of this solution from Allison on MV Series trucks allows using advanced technologies, thereby reducing operation expenditures by means of enhanced fuel efficiency while maintaining the truck’s high durability and productivity.

MV Series trucks are equipped with the Allison 1000 HS automatics, with FuelSense 2.0 with DynActive Shifting as a possible option. These sophisticated technologies make Allison’s transmissions very attractive for major vehicle manufacturers, as features implemented in these units contribute to better fuel economy and enhanced performance capacity.
