If you take this transmission design and reform it using planetary gears instead of two differentials, you end up with the transmission used in the Prius.

However I have a small problem. As per my understanding CVT is about changing the torque. ie, increasing torque at the expense of reducing speed (or increasing speed at the expense of reducing torque). This is just reducing speed by way of transferring it to another axle. Please correct me if I’m wrong

Thanks,
Harshana
