What is the transmission of Mercedes-Benz sedans?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz sedans are equipped with transmissions produced by Mercedes-Benz. In the early stages, the 722.6 transmission was used, followed by the 722.8 transmission. With the continuous development of automotive production technology, the transmissions have also been upgraded. A representative model is the 9G-Tronic transmission, which is the world's first longitudinally mounted 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT). It achieves nine gear changes through four sets of planetary gears and six shift elements. During operation, the transmission can skip gears during upshifts. Depending on driving conditions, with the coordinated work of planetary gears and shift clutchers, the transmission can perform skip-shift upshifts from 3rd to 5th to 7th gear. This method shortens shift times, improves transmission efficiency, reduces power loss, and enhances the vehicle's fuel economy.
