724.2 (7G-TRONIC Plus)

A 7-speed hybrid automatic transmission with an electric motor, designated 724.2 (HK7C700 / HK7X700 / 7G-TRONIC PLUS), was introduced by the German company Mercedes in 2013. Based on the 722.9 7-speed transmission, this advanced transmission is designed for longitudinal placement and is compatible with both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive systems. It is used in models such as the Mercedes E300 BlueTEC HYBRID, combining a traditional internal combustion engine with an electric drive to improve efficiency and performance. This innovation reflects Mercedes' commitment to integrating advanced hybrid technology into its luxury vehicles, offering smooth shifting, improved fuel economy and a reduced environmental footprint.
