1. The idea of a “step-less” transmission system has a long history spanning several centuries. As early as the late 1400′s, Leonardo Da Vinci first came up with what would be the modern idea of a “step-less” transmission.
However, it wasn't until 1886, when Karl Benz filed the first patent for a friction based belt CVT for automobiles. In the more than 100 years from 1886 to the release of the world's first mass produced automobile with CVT in 1987, to modern day 2015; CVTs have yet to truly attain mass market appeal as the transmission of choice. CVT's rate of progress pales in comparison to the rate and speed of the progress of automobiles. Even modern day CVTs are still plagued by various issues that hinder its progress and appeal. Continuously variable transmissions (CVT) are “step-less” transmissions that provide an infinite amount of gear ratios for the engine to utilize and allows for greater efficiency in various usage scenarios. However, their biggest flaws are their lethargic and loud acceleration, and their inability to be used in heavy torque scenarios (such as large passenger automobiles, large trucks and heavy duty machinery.) In comparison, the more popular but traditional “geared” transmissions provide instant acceleration, and are able to be utilized in heavy torque scenarios (such as large passenger automobiles, large trucks and heavy duty machinery.) However, this transmission is not “stepless” and therefore forces the engine to adapt itself to only a few pre-selected gears or “speeds,” effectively preventing the engine from reaching its maximum efficiency and performance. Original Shift System (O.S.S.) has all of the advantages of CVT and traditional “geared” transmissions with none of their disadvantages. Original Shift System (O.S.S.):)
1. Has instant and quiet acceleration.)2. Has the ability to be used in any torque scenarios, from low-torque to heavy duty scenario (such as large passenger automobiles, large trucks and heavy duty machinery.))3. Is a “step-less” transmission system, therefore allowing the engine the ability to reach its maximum efficiency and performance. We believe that the Original Shift System (O.S.S.) is the solution to the problems that both CVTs and traditional “geared” transmissions face. It will surely attain mass market appeal. We believe that future power transmission systems will be “step-less” and our Original Shift System (O.S.S.) will be at the center to lead this revolution. Sources:)
