With the emphasis on high-efficiency and energy-saving environmental issues in the automotive market, 8-speed and even more gearboxes are increasingly favored by more car manufacturers with their higher power transmission efficiency. Recently, Netcom learned from the US "Automotive News": Chrysler plans to invest 266 million US dollars (about 1.642 billion yuan) for the expansion of 8-speed gearbox production. Bob Lee, head of the global powertrain at the Fiat-Chrysler Group, previously said that the new 8-speed gearbox combines high torque and excellent fuel economy to meet customers' comprehensive driving capabilities. Efficient power requirements. In the future, Jeep's new generation of Wranglers, guides, freelancers and other new models are expected to be equipped with 8-speed gearboxes.

At present, the eight-speed gearbox of Chrysler's products is the original 8-speed automatic transmission code of ZF Friedrichshafen, which is code-named 8HP. After the authorization of ZF, it started in Chrysler Group in 2013. Produced at the Kokomo plant. Chrysler plans to increase its production capacity by 1.6 billion yuan. In fact, it is not only a Chrysler auto company that is keen on gearboxes with 8-speed or higher gears. In the new car products of luxury car brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, the models equipped with 8-speed gearboxes are also very common, 8-speed and even 9-speed. The gearbox will become the standard for future high-end models.
At present, the Chrysler 300C and Jeep new Grand Cherokee are equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and have achieved good power output performance. According to Chrysler's data, the energy-saving effect can be increased by 9% after replacing the 8-speed transmission with the 5-speed and 6-speed products. According to the data, in addition to the Dodge Viper and some heavy-duty Ram pickups, the 8-speed transmission will be applied to all models of the Chrysler and Jeep brands in the future.
One of the design priorities of the new generation of Wranglers, which are currently in the state of development, is to reduce fuel consumption. The lightweight body of the vehicle will be equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission to further improve power transmission efficiency. In addition, Jeep Freelancers and guides currently use 6-speed automatic transmissions. If you want to further improve energy efficiency transmission efficiency, it is necessary to replace them with 8-speed automatic transmissions in the future. According to Chrysler's plan, the Chrysler brand will launch at least five new models in the next five years. The Jeep brand will launch four new models, which will improve fuel efficiency and change the image of “oil tiger†or will be one of the common design concepts of these new cars.
