► Bosch develops and produces the pushbelt for Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT).
► The pushbelt comprises hundreds of specially punched steel elements, stacked together in two high-alloy steel ring packages.
► The pushbelt can be adapted to the required power density by varying the number of rings in the packages and by the width of the steel elements.
► By continually developing the steel rings and the steel elements, durability is increased and enables higher loads. One particular focus of development is downsizing in order to reduce weight and volume.
