Dana Rexroth R2 Hydromechanical Variable Transmission (HVT) - Long-Drop Version

Dana Rexroth Transmission Systems introduces the R2 hydromechanical variable transmission (HVT), the latest powersplit system resulting from the 50-50 joint venture between Dana and Bosch Rexroth AG.

• Modular platform enables configuration and software control options such as direct or remote mounting, flexibility in shift control and drive strategy parameters, and deployment of up to three PTOs
• Well suited for applications requiring 135 to 195 kW (180 to 260 hp) of engine output power
• Offers fuel savings in the drivetrain up to 25% 
• Integrates hydrostatic, mechanical and control systems to accommodate various application requirements and customer preferences
• Improves productivity by enabling sensitive, precise vehicle positioning and stepless drive with no interrupted acceleration
• Occupies same space within design envelope as conventional torque converter transmissions while allowing for engine downsizing
• Optimizes operating point of the diesel engine by decoupling engine speed from drive speed
• Hydrostatic braking and wear-free directional reversals reduce maintenance costs 
• Entire system of gears and hydrostatics is managed by an advanced electronic control unit (ECU), reducing complexity
