Can the IVT be retrofitted to a vehicle?
The technology is capable but we do not expect the IVT to be offered as a retrofit option for passenger cars.
One of the strengths of the IVT is that it can be packaged to fit into the space occupied by an existing transmission.
The real fuel economy and driveability benefits supplied by the IVT come from an integrated approach to the design and calibration of the entire powertrain (engine and transmission). Therefore we do not expect the IVT to be retrofitted in volume passenger cars.
