Chrysler put $300M into the development and production of a new line of transmissions. This investment will lead to drastic improvements in fuel efficiency. If you’re a fan of technology, watch as Chrysler and Fiat just start to kill it with their combined efforts to be the leaders in new vehicle technologies.
Chrysler and Fiat are about to debut their first collaboration with the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the suspense is hard to resist. This is going to be very revealing of just how much the combined assets of these great companies can bring to the market.
The market is hungry for great technology and Fiat has the talent for doing amazing things that it’s customers have appreciated for years, they just needed Chrysler to give them a platform to do it in the US.
These new transmissions are going to bring 25% better fuel economy, and if that isn’t awesome in it’s own right, what’s even cooler is that its being done with a transmission.
Transmissions are fascinating machines. All of their moving gears and parts are truly a miracle when you think about what they accomplish without you having to do anything except move the shifter into a single position. The rest happens without you ever really needing to know how, that’s a sign of great engineering.
With this investment in the development of a new transmission, Chrysler and Fiat will be pushing the envelope for other companies to try and produce this level of excellence in their products.
When you drive a Chrysler, just knowing it has this type of engineering behind it will bring a confidence in quality and technology that one would be proud to own.
