The three companies teamed up over the last few years and built this: a two-mode hybrid with an ECVT transmission. It incorporates four fixed gears for high efficiency and power-handling capabilities. During the two ECVT modes and four fixed gears, the system can use the electric motors for boosting and regenerative braking.

No information on which model of car or when this will be used.
