Care to explain why a CVT holds the engine at maximum torque, then?

I'm not aware that it does. If I were to design one, it certainly
wouldn't!

But then you're obviously not into car design. ;-)

When did you last design a car? The work we did a Rover a few decades
ago on the Perbury transmission (a derivative of the earlier Austin
Hayes transmission) certainly aimed to run the engine at max power for
max acceleration.

A very successful concept, obviously.

Read the first paragraph of this. ;-)

I've no idea what Daf did with the belt drive system.

I've told you.
