Chrysler Sets Out To Increase Fuel Efficiency By 25% Overall

Chrysler is making use of the technology from it’s partner Fiat who obtained a 20% stake in Chrysler Group LLC in January of 2009. In order to revamp Chrysler’s entire lineup, they turned to Fiat’s technologies such as Multiair, direct injection, turbocharging and transmission systems.

By leveraging the strengths of Fiat, Chrysler has set a goal they plan to reach by 2014, the company expects a 25% increase in fuel efficiency across it’s entire lineup.

The deal with Fiat allows Chrysler to leverage Fiat’s technology, worth billions of dollars. Fiat can capitalize on the partnership by offering it’s lineup by in North American Chrysler showrooms in 2011.

Chrysler, as part of it’s 5 year plan, is currently working on a traditional hybrid version of the Ram 1500.

In addition, Chrysler will continue working in cooperation with the Department of Energy on a fleet of plug-in hybrid pickup trucks and vans.

Chrysler is also exploring the prospect of producing a line of electric vehicles in a highly lucrative commercial market. Companies looking to cut costs, and take advantage of tax incentives, will begin replacing their commercial fleet vehicles with more economical solutions.

The Fiat 1.4L engine with Multiair has a lot to offer in terms of cutting edge technology. Multiair allows the engine to expand its breathing capability, more performance and fuel efficiency while reducing emissions. The 1.4L can be equipped with a turbocharger model that makes 170 horsepower, a 70 hp gain over the naturally aspirated version.

Chrysler has been able integrate the Fiat Multiair technology into it’s currently produced 2.4L engine in just 6 months. The 2.4L can be found in the Dodge Caliber, Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass and the Multiair integration will greatly enhance the performance and efficiency of these vehicles.

The new Chrysler Pentastar V6 with Multiair technology will debut in Q2 of this year in the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The new 3.6L V6 will also replace 6 different engine architectures currently used Chrysler, Jeep, Ram and Dodge and is the most advanced V6 Chrysler has ever produced.
