* Electric Motor: The Volt's primary source of power is an electric motor. Electric motors don't require multiple gears for different speeds like combustion engines do.
* Direct Drive: The electric motor directly drives the wheels, providing smooth and instant torque.
* Gear Reduction: The Volt does have a gear reduction unit, but it's primarily for maximizing torque at low speeds, not for shifting between gears.
Therefore, while the Volt doesn't have a "transmission" in the traditional sense, it does have a single-speed transmission with a gear reduction unit.
