An automobile's transmission is probably not the first thing you think about when you contemplate its cool features and exciting attributes. It's not considered glamorous or flashy. But it's an integral component of every vehicle. And if it's the TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission from Chrysler Group LLC equipped in more than one million vehicles worldwide including the 2014 Chrysler 300 Sedan, 2014 Dodge Charger Sedan, and 2014 RAM 1500 pickup truck, it can help improve performance and save fuel.
According to recent projections, TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmissions will help owners and their vehicles equipped with the transmission save more than 700 gallons-worth of gasoline and diesel fuel over the lifetimes of their vehicles -- totaling about $2.5 billion, at today's fuel prices and into the future.
On top of that, vehicles equipped with TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmissions like the 2014 RAM 1500 pickup trucks at our RAM dealership serving Parma are expected to contribute to a reduction of more than six million metric tonnes in CO2 emissions (about 13 billion pounds).
"This is precisely the kind of impact we targeted with the TorqueFlite program... And we fully expect this momentum to continue as we expand availability," said Jeffrey Lux, Vice President and Head of Transmission Powertrain, Chrysler Group LLC.
The TorqueFlite transmission is a versatile transmission suitable for use in many different vehicles including the powerful and reliable 2014 RAM 1500 pickup truck, and it can handle many different driving needs. "The TorqueFlite's wide 7.03 ratio spread is the reason it can deliver such superior performance... This enables engines to operate at peak efficiency in a broader range of driving conditions," said Lux.
Saving money and saving fuel is especially important in the days of four- and five-dollar-a-gallon gasoline. And the car or truck you drive can make all the difference. Chrysler Group LLC helps make it easy to make a difference with a truck like the 2014 RAM 1500 equipped with the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission.
