Mass production of ZF's fourth-generation 8-speed automatic will begin in the 2022 calendar year. The supplier also announced that FCA has asked it to deliver its new 8-speed transmission for its rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles with front-longitudinal drive configuration (or front-engine, rear-wheel-drive based platforms). The all-new fourth-generation 8-speed automatic is expected to play a big part of the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and mild hybrid electric vehicle) (MHEV) lineup within the FCA portfolio, including the L-Series(Dodge Challenger and Charger) replacements which are slated to begin production around the same time frame." https://moparinsiders.com/fcas-futu...-could-be-spectacular-for-performance-brands/
