SuperDrive’s CVT manages the diesel engine revolutions per minute during acceleration and cruising by using hydraulics that allow the truck to operate using less fuel while generating lower amounts of emissions.
The US Army’s 24,000lb GVW family of medium tactical 4×4 military trucks are already equipped with second-generation CVT.
Design and manufacture work of the CVT will be carried out by the company in cooperation with Anderson Tool & Engineering in Anderson, Indiana.
