A two-speed transmission for some Stellantis EVs? | Car News

According to a patent application filed by Stellantis with the United States Patent and Trademark Office , the company is developing a two-speed transmission for off-road electric vehicles.

The transmission itself would use two sets of planetary gears in a housing mounted between an electric motor and the half shafts of an axle, with clutches controlling torque output. These clutches would engage one of the two gears and control the output to the wheels. Rivian has considered a similar solution, as has Mercedes-Benz, which may include it in its electric G-Class SUV.
