Abstract
A driving system of a motor vehicle includes a driving power source that generates power, and a belt-and-pulley type continuously variable transmission that transmits the power received from the driving power source to drive wheels while changing a first speed of rotation of an input shaft thereof to a second speed of rotation of an output shaft thereof. The driving system further includes a speed changing mechanism provided between the driving power source and the continuously variable transmission so as to increase or reduce a speed of rotation of the driving power source during forward running of the vehicle.
