INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Allison
Transmission today announced the production of its 500,000th fully
automatic 4000 Series™ transmission. Benefiting a wide range of
commercial-duty vehicles, the transmission series is used in
applications that include refuse, construction, fire and emergency,
distribution, coach and transit bus, and motorhomes.
Allison began producing the 4000 Series transmission at its
Indianapolis headquarters in 1993.
To accommodate demand outside of North
America, the company also began building the transmission at
its facility in Szentgotthárd, Hungary in 2005.
Allison fully automatic transmissions use Continuous Power
Technology™ to smoothly multiply engine torque and
deliver more power to the wheels. As a result, fleets experience
better productivity, fuel economy, comfort, safety and operational
flexibility than those with manual and automated manual
transmissions (AMTs).
Globally recognized for their quality and reliability, Allison
transmissions are highly regarded for their greater overall
economic value. This is demonstrated by the residual value that
accompanies an Allison-equipped vehicle, as compared to a vehicle
equipped with a manual, AMT or dual-clutch transmission (DCT).
