The John Deere 7000 TEN series tractors represent a significant change in the transmission system compared to previous John Deere tractor models in this category. John Deere 7710 and 7810 series tractors are the first of the 7000 TEN series tractors offering an infinitely variable transmission (IVT). These tractors provide infinite vehicle speeds in the forward mode from 50 meters/hr to 40 km/hr or an optional 50 km/hr. Reverse mode provides infinite vehicle speeds from 50 meters/hr to 17 km/hr. The IVT provides performance improvements in several areas for unmatched operator convenience and control. The new IVT uses an electric signal to control the electro-hydraulic hydrostatic system with mechanical power train. The IVT represents a hydro-mechanical transmission system using electronics, hydraulics and mechanical systems’ integration to achieve the required performance. This paper describes the IVT system configuration, components, operation, characteristics and some of the engineering considerations dealt with in the development process. The overall IVT system truly represents a “drive-by-wire” mechatronic design.

Chapter 10 presents the principles of the plug-in hybrid power train (PHEV) operation. The power trains of the battery-powered vehicle (BEV – pure electric) are close to the plug in hybrid drives. For this reason, the pure electric mode of operation of the plug in hybrid power train is very important. The vehicle’s range of driving autonomy must be extended. It means the design process has to be focused on energy economy, emphasizing electricity consumption. Simultaneously, the increasing of the battery’s capacity causes its mass and volume also to increase. Generally, it is not recommended. After many tests, one can observe the strong dependence between the proper multiple gear speed, the proper mechanical transmission adjustment, and the vehicle’s driving range, which in the case of the plug-in hybrid power train means long distance of a drive using the majority the battery’s energy. The mechanical ratio’s proper adjustment and its influence on the vehicle’s driving range autonomy is discussed in the chapter. Three types of the automatic mechanical transmission are depicted: the toothed gear (ball), the belt’s continuously variable transmission, and the planetary transmission system called the “Compact Hybrid Planetary Transmission Drive,” equipped additionally with tooth gear reducers, connected or disconnected by the specially constructed electromagnetic clutches. The number of mechanical ratios—gear speeds—depends on the vehicle’s size, mass, and function, which in the majority of cases means the maximal speed value.

The continuously variable transmissions (CVT) have been extensively studied, however, few studies of transmissions have been made that can reach the neutral and reverse rotational speeds through the separation distance of a half sided central pulley as a single variable control. This paper proposes a new clutchless transmission model, which operates through orbital pulleys to change velocity ratios for forward and reverse through neutral such that an infinitely variable transmission (OP-IVT) is obtained. The concept is described and explained, and the dynamic model of the system is proposed and shown in open loop. The system is also controlled via a numerical simulation program with PID control showing the dynamic closed loop behaviour of the generated model in trajectory tracking and disturbance rejection, showing the control as the capability to meet a wide range of speeds without losing the known efficiency performance of current continuously variable transmissions.

According to the structural characteristics of Hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmission (HMCVT), a multi-functional test bench was developed, and the basic structure, working principle, and test functions of the test bench were introduced. The test bench has the following characteristics: To analyze the impact of mechanical transmission and hydraulic transmission on the HMCVT transmission system, the performance can be tested separately by using a test bench; the coupling characteristics of the hydraulic transmission and mechanical transmission can also be tested; it can also test and verify the performance of the HMCVT transmission system and the control system; the test bench has a simple structure, diverse functions, and convenient operation. Using the multi-functional test bench, this paper proposes a method of multi-level test and verification. Through this method, the simulation models are revised and improved many times, and the accuracy of the models is improved, which are consistent with the physical model, and eventually, the accuracy of the simulation result is improved. This method is used to test and verify the hydraulic transmission system, analyze the characteristics of the hydraulic transmission system, and verify the feasibility and practicability of the multi-level verification method.

The traction infinitely variable transmission (TIVT) used in the power train of electric vehicles (EVS) was designed. Firstly, based on the analysis of basic structure and working principle, the mathematic models were established on the transmission ratio, slipping ratio, transferring torsion and transmission efficiency; Secondly, Transmission characteristics of the TIVT were analyzed and calculated using ADAMS software. The calculation results show that: the export torsion varies with sway angle of steer ring as the import torsion is fixed. The transmission efficiency of TIVT is large when the motion of driving parts is pure-rolling or the slipping ratio is less. The efficiency could be reached more than 99% by rational designing. Theoretically, the driving distance of EVS matched with TIVT could be increased.
