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 $50 million 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,” said Zhou. “In addition, Allison automatics are easy to operate, which significantly reduces stress for the drivers. The Allison 4800 ORS requires only periodic fluid and filter changes to maintain peak performance, resulting in more vehicle uptime and lower maintenance costs.”
