Infinitely variable transmission technology for engines

VRT Innovations has developed an infinitely variable transmission which allows an engine to operate at optimum revs, with the vehicle speed changing to suit driving conditions. The system can achieve infinite variability in forward and reverse gears without the need for a clutch.

The founder of VRT Innovations, Steve Durnin, was the episode winner of The New Inventors (ABC TV) prize and The New Inventor’s People’s Choice award, and finalist in 2010 for his infinitely variable geared transmission (d-Drive).

Funding from Commercialisation Australia will help VRT Innovations to commercialise the d-Drive technology.
