How does CVT multiply torque?

Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) multiply torque through a system of pulleys and a belt or chain that can change diameters seamlessly. By adjusting the effective diameter of the pulleys, the CVT optimizes the engine's RPM to maintain the best torque output for varying driving conditions. This allows for smoother acceleration and better fuel efficiency compared to traditional gear-based transmissions, as it can continuously adapt to the most efficient engine speed without the need for fixed gear ratiOS.
