Compared to CVT alternatives, the NuVinci CVP offers:

Coaxial input and output.  The input and output shafts are in-
line, making the transmission simpler, smaller, easier to package,
and lighter.
Better torque density.   A NuVinci CVP delivers a large amount
of torque in a relatively small space. It is smaller and easier to
package than other CVTs because it does not require an offset
shaft and because it can spread torque across any number of
traction contacts by using many balls..
Lower manufacturing cost.  The transmission uses simple
geometry and very simple parts which results in a lower cost. The
NuVinci CVP can also be scaled across a wide variety of vehicles
in many cases without retooling.
Lower control cost.  Transmission control is stable, linear and
does not require a major control system development effort.
Power path variability.  The technology is easily integrated into
a wide range of applications with varying power path
requirements or options.
Scalability.  The NuVinci CVP’s simple design and low part
count make it easily scalable.
