Construction

Established Leader in Propulsion Technology

Industry-Leading Performance

Our propulsion solutions are designed to withstand heavy-duty applications, providing long-lasting durability and reliability. Continuous Power Technology^TM allows for faster and more efficient operation of heavy construction machinery, increasing productivity on the job site. Allison transmissions provide more power to the wheels, improving maneuverability in soft soil and tight spaces, delivering a smoother ride.

More Uptime, Less Maintenance Costs

By featuring a torque converter instead of a dry clutch, Allison transmissions eliminate the clutch repairs and replacements that come with manual transmissions. This reduces maintenance costs and increases your vehicle’s time on the construction site.

Automated Is Not Automatic

Allison Automatic transmissions use a hydraulic torque converter and planetary gear set for smooth, continuous power shifts, unlike Automated Manual Transmissions (AMTs) which have a standard manual gearbox and can experience torque losses and interruptions during shifts. Allison's fully automatic systems offer superior performance, lower maintenance, and allow drivers to focus better on their driving tasks, enhancing overall vehicle performance.
