Planetary gear sets are smaller and more compact, and this limits heat dissipation. To keep the gears cool, the lubricant can be sent through a heat exchanger, or a cooling fan can be designed in.

SEW-EURODRIVE is reducing lead times for its high-torque, compact P2.e drives for heavy industry customers in the U.S.

Early automatic transmissions with names like Hydra-Matic, Dynaflow, ZF, and Hondamatic delivered simplistic driving, but heavy planetary gear systems and torque converters sacrificed fuel efficiency.

The Pacifica Hybrid uses a planetary power-split system to juggle its 3.6-liter V-6 and a pair of electric motors, which can both be used as generators for propulsion.
