ABSTRACT:
In a power transmission system in a vehicle including a continuously variable gear path and a multi-stage gear path, a difference between gear ratios at the start of forward travel and at the start of backward travel is minimized, while using a single-pinion type planetary gear mechanism. The continuously variable gear path includes a forward/backward travel switching mechanism comprising a single-pinion type planetary gear mechanism, and a belt-type continuously variable transmission. A multi-stage gear path comprising gears is set at a gear ratio closer to a LOW side from that of the belt-type continuously variable transmission. Thus, when the forward traveling and the backward traveling are switched over from one to another, it is unnecessary to suddenly change the gear ratio of the belt-type continuously variable transmission, which can contribute to an improvement in durability of belt-type continuously variable transmission.
