吉普向美国证监会提交的文件显示,将于2017年底上市的新一代2018款牧马人将配备ZF提供的八速自动变速器。该变速器将替代现行版的五速自动变速器，燃油经济性提升幅度超过9%。除了新一代牧马人，道奇Ram 1500，吉普大切诺基和道奇杜兰戈都将配备该变速器。新一代牧马人仍将采用非承载式车身结构，但将配备铝制车身，因此车重将大幅降低。新车将在Toledo Assembly Plant组装。

 

All-new Jeep Wrangler will feature eight-speed ZF automatic transmission

A filing this month with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows the 2018 Jeep Wrangler will get an eight-speed automatic transmission.

 

Scheduled to go on sale towards the end of 2017, the all-new Jeep Wrangler will be available with a ZF-developed eight-speed automatic gearbox which will replace the old-five speed 'box and cut fuel consumption by more than nine percent. It's the same transmission installed in the Ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango.

 

The overhauled Wrangler is expected to retain the body-on-frame structure but receive an aluminum body which will enable a massive diet. Production will likely take place at the Toledo Assembly Plant, although initially Sergio Marchionne hinted the next Wrangler could be built elsewhere.
