Question

tech a says that the transmission in a toyota hybrid has a separate gear to provide reverse. tech b says that toyota hybrids use a variable diameter pulley (vdp) type continuously variable transmission (cvt). who is correct?

Answer 1

Tech B is correct. Toyota hybrids use a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with a variable diameter pulley (VDP) to provide an infinite number of gear ratios, which eliminates the need for a separate reverse gear.
