The 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan features something that's rather unique in the automotive world, and unique to the automotive segment in which it resides. It's a nine-speed automatic transmission, and it's built at the automaker's Kokomo Transmission Plant (KTP), which recently earned World Class Manufacturing (WCM) Bronze status, approximately four years after beginning implementation of WCM protocols and methods to systematically reduce manufacturing waste, improve product quality, increase manufacturing productivity, and enhance safety.
The transmission comes equipped in the 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan, which you can find here at your trusted Brunswick Chrysler dealership. The 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan is the only vehicle in its automotive segment to offer such a transmission. It features a rotary dial instead of a stick. Operating electronically rather than mechanically, its wide gear spacing delivers great performance and fuel efficiency.
KTP builds the automaker's nine-speed transmission found in the 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan and other Chrysler Group vehicles, as well as eight-speed transmissions. The plant is the eighth Chrysler Group LLC facility in North America to earn Bronze status, and it is now the automaker's highest ranked automotive transmission manufacturing facility.
According to Brian Harlow, Chrysler Group Vice President and Head of NAFTA Manufacturing, "KTP has gone through significant change since 2009 as it prepared to launch production of the all-new eight- and nine-speed transmissions. Through it all, the KTP employees remained focused on implementing World Class Manufacturing and have been acknowledged for those efforts today with the awarding of bronze... We are proud of the commitment demonstrated by our employees and the support received from the UAW, which has been critical in making Chrysler Group's manufacturing facilities among the best in the world."
