Although the transmission performance is better, but the relative design and manufacture is complex. Moss Company of United States has introduced the use 30 ° pressure angle involutes; its composition is called HV chain drive chain drive, high-speed transmission with good performance. Another notable feature is the CAD / CAM technology, directly promoted the timing belt technology. Timing belt graphics software has entered the market; by using the software can simply enter the relevant parameters, such as with the relevant dimensions with chain, timing belt structure, teeth, etc., can quickly draw a timing belt work plan.

Again, non-circular timing belt techniques have been developed and applied. If speed bicycle drive belt known as ergonomics, is a non-circular belt. The timing belt can help reduce the adverse effects of transmission efficiency while driving, which has been wide application.
