Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission

The primary objective of the electronically controlled transmission is to deliver torque to the drive axles of the vehicle. The transmission applies torque from either the internal combustion engine or electrical energy from the high voltage traction battery. The electrical energy is converted into mechanical power by the traction motor and the generator motor. For additional information, refer to HYBRID ELECTRIC CONTROL SOFTWARE , operating modes in this article.

The key electronically controlled transmission components are:

• planetary gear set
• generator motor
• traction motor
• TCM
