Varionova develops next-generation, AI-ready transmission systems, that can deeply change the mechanical systems they become part of. Our flagship RatioZero technology is the world's first commercially viable gear-based CVT, a real breakthrough delivering the efficiency of traditional gears with smooth, stepless control. Around, it we are developing a host of innovative, step- and stepless transmissions.
Trusted by leading research institutions and industrial partners
Traditional transmissions force you to choose: high efficiency with fixed gears, or smooth ratio variation with significant friction losses. We've eliminated that compromise with the first commercially viable gear-based CVT—combining continuous control with mechanical efficiency. A game changer that opens to countless new possibilities.
Proprietary "split rotation" principle enables stepless ratio control through gears -- an absolute world first.
Gear-based design delivers minimal friction losses, reducing heat generation and extending component life.
Scalable load transfer mechanism handles any torque requirement, from precision robotics to heavy-duty industrial applications.
Independent shifting mechanism enables smooth ratio changes under full load, with simple control systems.
A variable-ratio, gear-based, near-zero-backlash transmission for smooth, precise, stepless control. Designed for mobility, heavy-duty, and industrial automation.
A reversible, self-adapting transmission based on an advanced variation of epicyclic gearing. Designed for robotics, mobility, and applications requiring intelligent mechanical adaptation.
Our technology adapts to diverse mechanical challenges across industries
A never-before-seen transmission combining the efficiency of a cassette with the smoothness of a CVT, creating an entirely new pedaling experience--and energy-optimal.
An efficient, compact CVT-type transmission enabling continuous ratio optimization of EV powertrains, to keep them operating at peak efficiency for maximum performance and range.
The RatioZero allows to reverse the current approach to PTO: the engine can run at a fixed (optimal) ratio, and the highly-efficient CVT ensures to match the implement with high-efficiency, mechanical power transfer.
Both conventional and electrified machines use this kind of sub-system, often with variable axle piston pumps. The RatioZero allows to shift to a constant speed motor and fixed displacement pump, saving space and costs.
