Tough transmissions approved for action.
Allison fully automatic transmissions provide extended torque range, higher GVW capacity and advanced electronic controls to get the most performance out of higher horsepower engines, while putting more control to the wheels. So whether it's going into battle, transporting troops or carrying military cargo, Allison Automatics are invaluable in helping the warfighter accomplish his mission.
Few things can take this much abuse.
Allison Automatics are recognized as being virtually indestructible. Wear and tear on everything from the engine to the tires is reduced because the transmission's torque converter absorbs shock loads from both directions. Sudden engine acceleration at start up and during upshifts is smooth so that the driveshaft, differential, axles and wheels are protected. And shock spikes fed back through the driveline from the wheels-going from icy to dry conditions, for example-are similarly absorbed. truck
Drivers can concentrate on driving.
No other transmission offers more efficient and effective operation. Besides smooth, seamless automatic shifts up and down the power curve, Allison automatic transmissions deliver faster acceleration, superior traction and greater maneuverability in all conditions. And, because they are inherently easy to operate, driver shortcomings are neutralized.
By making driving less physically taxing, Allison Automatics enable drivers to concentrate on their mission. Drivers experience measurably lower stress and are less tired and more alert. Commanders tell us that driver-training time is drastically reduced and maintenance costs are lower.
tank Shifting performance. Not even the most expert driver can shift at the precise shift points to optimize vehicle performance under all road and load conditions. An Allison Automatic automatically makes the right shift at the right time to maximize vehicle performance and protect the driveline.
Unlike manual and automated manual transmissions, there are no power interrupts with Allison Automatics, just smooth, seamless full-power shifts. More power gets from the engine to the wheels, which makes for faster starts, greater control and better maneuverability.
Making the grade. Allison automatic transmissions are far superior when it comes to grade and startability on hills, grades or soft ground. Allison's heavy=duty torque converter allows extremely high torque to be transmitted gradually to the wheels where it enables the vehicle to accelerate smoothly and steadily. No jerks, spins, bounces or stalls. No lugging. No rollback.
red cross Improved all-around safety. Allison-equipped vehicles experience fewer minor accidents, possibly due to better driver control at lower speeds and in tight conditions. Smooth shifting makes it easier for warfighters in the back of vehicles to maintain their position, thereby reducing fatigue and injury.
In hilly terrain, the absence of rollback is another safety factor. The capability of operating at low speeds smoothly, without clutching and shifting gears, is much safer and less fatiguing for the driver and ground personnel.
Smart control. Allison Automatics have brains in addition to brawn. Optional electronic control packages provide the precise operating features needed to get the task done, whatever it may be.

Low maintenance costs. Drivers simply can't mis-shift an Allison Automatic. The smooth, seamless shifts virtually eliminate driveline component shock. Since Allison Automatics don't have mechanically-applied clutches, there's no routine clutch burnout and replacement-a major downtime concern with manual and automated manual transmissions.
Routine oil and filter changes are the only regular preventive maintenance required with an Allison Automatic. Easily accessible integral and spin-on filters reduce downtime, while Allison-approved TES 295 transmission fluid greatly extends oil change intervals for most applications.
Life cycle value. When factoring in a all life cycle costs-vehicle purchase price, fuel, tires, preventive maintenance and component repair-along with the faster acceleration and greater maneuverability, an Allison Automatic-equipped vehicle costs less per mile* to operate than a comparable manual- or automated manual-equipped vehicle.
