After 4 years of research and development VMT Technologies has announced its new green transmission for hybrid SUVs, light and heavy trucks plus electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.VMT Technologies says its new “Universal Transmission” saves 30-percent in fuel costs over standard transmission and will also outperform CVT transmissions as well. According to the company, “the Universal Transmission is the first and only to function as a positively engaged, infinitely variable transmission with an engaged neutral. In addition, it eliminates the need for a clutch or torque converter.”Now, since electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, thought to be the future of the automotive industry run on electric motors and not transmissions, VMT Technologies intends on competing in these sectors as well.There are two technologies surrounding hydrogen.
