Abstract
A hydrokinetic torque converter, which exhibits important advantages regarding the consumption of fuel and the operation at low RPM in the power train of a motor vehicle, has a stator, a pump and a turbine which jointly form a toroidal structure having a meridian cross-sectional outline which is asymmetrical with reference to at least one axis other than the rotational axis of the housing of the torque converter.
