Fallbrook Technologies is the inventor of the revolutionary NuVinci® continuously variable planetary (CVP) technology, which enables performance and efficiency improvements for machines that use an engine, pump, motor, or geared transmission system – including urban mobility vehicles, cars and trucks, industrial equipment, and many other applications.  The NuVinci technology is Transforming Gears into Spheres™ by using a set of rotating balls between the input and output components of a transmission. Tilting the balls changes their contact diameters and varies the speed ratio. NuVinci Optimized™ CVP can be configured to replace multiple planetary gears, providing significant efficiency and performance improvement in a compact package. The NuVinci technology offer companies the flexibility to design and produce next-generation products that are better tailored to their unique business, market, and competitive requirements. Major automotive transmission suppliers have licensed NuVinci technology for the development of automotive class drivetrains, and a market-leading supplier has licensed the technology and is developing NuVinci optimized CVP transmissions for electric and gasoline light vehicle applications. The first commercial products incorporating the technology are the currently available Nfinity™ bicycle transmission and the Harmony™ auto-shifting system for bicycles. Fallbrook has built an extensive portfolio of over 800 patents and patent applications worldwide. For more information, visit http://www.fallbrooktech.com.
