Increased productivity - with constant drive to wheels, an Allison equipped truck can complete its route faster. Tests have shown 10-15% productivity improvement over a manual or automated transmission.
Improved vehicle performance - multiplying engine torque through the converter and transferring smooth, ununterrupted power to the wheels quickly.
Greater efficiency - electronic control of shift points and early engagement of lock up, together with uninterrupted power during gear changes, enables optimum use of engine horsepower and torque.
Reduced whole life operating costs - high reliabilty and reduced workshop costs lead to better fleet utilization and lower capital requirements. An integral optional retarder takes it further, providing a significant increase in service brake life.
Increased safety - Medical tests prove it; less susceptible to stress, drivers keep both hands on the wheel, increasing control and improving manoeuvrability.
