Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of conventional and electrified vehicle propulsion solutions and the largest global manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty fully automatic transmissions for commercial and defense vehicles, announced that its long-term partner LiuGong (Changzhou) Mining Machinery Co., Ltd has shipped wide body mining dump (WBMD) trucks equipped with Allison 4800 Off Road Series (ORS) fully automatic transmissions to Colombia.
This award represents another milestone in Allison’s pursuit to capture market share in the global wide body mining dump truck market. In China, this initiative includes both domestic and export opportunities, supporting more than $50m annually in incremental revenue potential for Allison’s outside North America On-Highway end market.
“We have been working with Allison Transmission for more than a decade to integrate their transmissions into several of our vehicle segments,” said Zhou Changqi, the head of R&D Center of LiuGong. “Our wide body mining dump trucks equipped with Allison fully automatic transmissions are well received at home and abroad as they can face severe duty-cycles and any harsh environment without compromising productivity and efficiency. Allison’s deep understanding of the global market, and their ability to manufacture transmissions that provide unrivalled performance, quality, durability and reliability support our company’s development strategies.”
