Chrysler Plans Nine-Speed Automatic Transmission in 2013

More speed equals more fuel efficiency

There a lot of ways that automakers are investigating in an attempt to meet the looming CAFÉ standards for fuel efficiency. Many automakers are going to hybrids and EVs while others are reducing the weight of current cars and optimizing traditional gasoline engines. One of the ways Chrysler plans to help its various vehicles under different brand names meet fuel efficiency standards is with a new transmission.

A Chrysler executive has said that the car company will have a nine-speed automatic transmission in some vehicles by the middle of 2013. By adding additional years, the engine will spin slower and less fuel will be consumed. Chrysler expects to gain 16% in fuel economy by adding nine speeds.
