Hi
I'm new to this site so I hope I'm posting on the right board.
I want to see what the opinion is about a UK company called Torotrak, who are developing an infinitely variable transmission.
Although they seem well known in the UK, I get the impression that they have not made an impact in the US. GM were involved with Torotrak directly, but bailed out just as Aisin replaced them. I'm told that Aisin are a big transmission supplier to GM, and the question is will Aisin/GM use Torotak's product.
The Torotak transmission offers something like a 20% improvement in fuel economy.
Does anybody know anything about it?
