By fully integrating that inside the casing, it will be light, efficient, compact, and more cost-effective. Don't hold your breath though, the R&D on that has been going on for two years now, and there hasn't been a word on any progress. It may end up that it the cost/benefit ratio isn't worth following through though.

i've heard of rotrex doing a joint venture with torotrak to figure this piece out before... actually the youtube videos of the concept they are working on, makes me wonder if you have more information on their progress... because it looks like to me that the design for the GTM stage 1.5/2 SC kit is perfect for upgrading the sc to whatever rotrex SC unit with the built in variable drive they come up with... in any case... pretty exciting stuff...
