TVS Motor Company Develops Green Technology Which Enhances Fuel Efficiency

TVS Motor Company today announced the development of a new technology that will enhance fuel efficiency by as much as twenty percent when compared to the conventional technology deployed today.

This new technology, termed 'TVS Automatic Transmission", developed by TVS Motor Company, employs a Automatic Transmission in place of conventional Continuously Variable Transmission Technology (CVT) which changes gears effortlessly through electronic control, automatically selecting the gear ratios for a particular riding condition. This enables the engine to run at its most efficient RPM (revolutions per minute) for a range of vehicle operating conditions, thereby maximizing the engine performance to achieve peak efficiency; overriding the requirement of a clutch.

Commenting on the development, Harne Vinay Chandrakant, President, New Product Development, TVS Motor Company said, "The objective of this technology development is to deliver a compact engine layout, that will deliver enhanced fuel efficiency and which is usable across product forms like scooter, motorcycles and step-thru's. This technology also delivers the lowest CO2 in scooters while providing for low floor board and space for luggage."
