Punch Powertrain is the proud inventor of the automotive Continuously Variable Transmission. The range covers vehicles from compact city cars to SUVs, spanning 140 to 280 Nm across the VT3 and VT5 family, featuring wet clutch, push belt and torque converter options with all software developed in-house.
Over 4 million CVTs on the road across every continent. As an independent supplier, this milestone reflects consistent performance, strong long-term customer partnerships, and a commitment to technologies that deliver real-world value.
The steel push-belt and pulley system delivers a continuous, unbroken band of ratios, keeping the engine at its most efficient operating point at all times. This eliminates the fixed gear steps and shift interruptions of conventional automatic transmissions. The VT5 takes this further with the world’s largest single-stage ratio coverage of 7.2.
All transmission control software is developed in-house, enabling customer-specific calibration and full control over shift behaviour, efficiency tuning and transmission functionality. Known for compact design, fuel efficiency and a smooth driving experience, the CVT range is backed by strong manufacturing capacity to help OEMs meet real-world demands with cost-effective solutions.
