A proven, cost-effective CVT covering 150 to 220 Nm, designed for quick deployment across a broad range of vehicle programmes. Available in multiple torque variants including the VT3+ for 4WD and the VT3 Pro, an upgraded derivative with wider ratio coverage.
With over 4 million CVTs on the road across global markets, the VT3 has proven its quality and reliability day after day, across varied climates, terrains and driving conditions worldwide.
The smart clutch actuation system allows combination with engine start-stop functionality, improving fuel consumption across a broad range of vehicle programmes. Available in torque variants from 150 to 220 Nm, the VT3 scores very high on driving comfort. For demanding applications, a short final drive variant delivers high performance on slopes.
The VT3 family extends across three variants to cover a broad span of vehicle programmes. The VT3+ is designed for Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs) and ATVs, available in transverse and longitudinal layouts. It delivers four-wheel drive through differential or direct shaft output, with high/low gear ratios for diverse working conditions and electronic shifting and parking via actuators and shift hubs.
The VT3 Pro is an upgraded next-generation derivative with 20% wider ratio coverage, providing smoother power output and a more comfortable driving experience. It is 14% smaller and 19 kg lighter than comparable products, with an integrated oil cooler that eliminates external oil pipes. OTA and network management functions enable vehicle electrical architecture upgrade requirements.
Target Applications
The VT3 is designed for passenger car programmes requiring a proven, cost-effective automatic transmission. The VT3+ extends the family to Utility Terrain Vehicles and ATVs requiring four-wheel drive, while the VT3 Pro targets OEMs seeking improved efficiency and wider ratio coverage.
The VT3 Family
VT3
The VT3 is a proven, cost-effective transmission available in torque variants from 150 to 220 Nm. With a smart clutch actuation system for start-stop compatibility and a short final drive option for demanding slope performance.
VT3+
Designed for Utility Terrain Vehicles and ATVs, the VT3+ features a full lifecycle steel belt that lasts the lifetime of the vehicle, and wet clutch control for creeping, hill hold and hill start.
VT3 Pro
The VT3 Pro delivers 0.2L/100km lower WLTC fuel consumption and 0.4% higher transmission efficiency compared to similar products. At 14% smaller and 19 kg lighter, it is compact and lightweight without compromising on performance.
