Mercedes-Benz developed a new generation of rear wheel drive manual transmissions due to increased CO2-requirements as well as increased shift comfort expectations. The new generation of manual six-speed transmissions was developed together with ZF Friedrichshafen and is based on there already known MT10 transmission. The modified architecture enables fuel savings of up to 8g CO2/km (NEDC cycle). The focus of developing the new transmission generation is based on reduced weight as well as a reduction in fuel consumption and on the new innovative Mercedes-Benz Clutch Protection System. Beyond this, Mercedes-Benz especially focused on an improvement of shift comfort, which will set a new benchmark in the premium segment. The new generation of rear wheel drive manual transmissions will be seen in various rear-wheel-drive models. The rollout already started with the new generation of the C-Class in March 2014.
