Having partnered, forced by the circumstances, with Italian manufacturer Fiat last year, American manufacturer Chrysler saw itself forced to rethink its powertrain strategy and, in places, reverse it completely from how it looked prior to its bankruptcy.
In the eve of the 2010 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Chrysler reminded us its new approach in terms of powerplants. The stars of the new direction are, as announced ever since late 2009, the Fiat-sourced FIRE MultiAir engines.
“Chrysler Group will attain leadership by rapidly applying Fiat Powertrain technologies, such as Multiair, direct injection, turbocharging and transmission systems to its powertrain portfolio,” Paolo Ferrero, Senior Vice President, Chrysler Powertrain said in a release. “By 2014 calendar year, more than 80 percent of Chrysler Group’s current powertrain lineup will undergo a complete makeover.“
