Introduced late last year by the largest global manufacturer of
medium- and heavy-duty fully automatic transmissions, the Allison
3414 RHS transmission is an uprate variant of the company’s proven
3000 Series™, also offered by International.
“The International RH Series regional haul tractor was designed
to provide customers a lightweight vehicle with optimal
productivity and maneuverability,” said Chet Ciesielski, vice
president, On-Highway Business, Navistar. “In listening to our
customers, particularly in the Food and Beverage segment, we
understood the need for this product, and are proud to offer a
solution in the International RH Series equipped with the new
Allison 3414 RHS transmission. The equipment integrates well,
delivering more power, better performance and quieter operation at
highway speeds.”
With the same form, fit and connections as a current Allison
3000 Series option, the 3414 RHS offers up to 410 horsepower and
1450 lb.-ft. of torque. The 3414 RHS provides fleets 25 percent
faster acceleration 0-20 miles per hour, as compared to competitive
automated manual transmissions. The new transmission also offers
fuel economy improvements of up to eight percent with Allison’s xFE
technology and FuelSense® 2.0 with DynActive® Shifting, which is
included with every 3414 RHS. The 3414 RHS will be the lightest
transmission in this segment. In fact, the 3414 RHS is 11 percent
lighter than the next lightest competitive transmission in the
segment. The 3414 RHS includes Allison’s industry-leading warranty
of five years, 750,000 miles, including towing, with no exclusions
on individual components. With no clutches to replace, fleets will
be free of unplanned downtime due to costly clutch
replacements.
“Allison's brand promise is to provide the most reliable and
valued propulsion solutions in the world to enable our customers to
work more efficiently. A key element to delivering on that mission
is listening to the needs of our customers and we are pleased that
doing so resulted in the 3414 RHS,” said Rohan Barua, vice
president, North America OEM Sales, Allison Transmission. “We look
forward to our continued partnership with Navistar and working
together to meet the needs of our mutual customers.”
The RH™ Series integrated with the Allison 3414 RHS transmission
capitalizes on the vehicle’s optimal maneuverability that enables
drivers to navigate through tight city streets or loading docks
while providing increased power that allows customers to utilize
their fleets in various duty cycles. The enhanced fuel economy,
greater power and responsiveness, and lighter weight of this
equipment combination delivers improved safety and productivity for
the driver.
The first RH™ Series vehicles equipped with the new Allison 3414
RHS transmission rolled off the manufacturing line this week with
full production expected late 2020. To place an order or for
additional information contact an International dealer or visit
