LiuGong Wide Body Mining Dump Trucks Equipped with Allison 4800 Off Road Series Transmissions Exported to Colombia - Seite 2

As the largest coal producer in South America, Colombia’s rich coal deposits require extremely powerful and reliable heavy-duty trucks. Not only do the country’s mining trucks have to haul massive loads, they also have to withstand heavy start-stop duty-cycles and day-after-day use without breaking down. With two shifts a day, the total operation time will be around 20 hours per day. Designed to carry a max payload of 60 tonnes with body capacity rated at 32 cubic meters, the new mining truck is powered by a 382kW Yuchai diesel engine and an Allison 4800 ORS fully automatic transmission with an output rated at 2400 Nm torque. Equipped with an engine-driven Power Take-Off (PTO) and a hydraulic retarder for enhanced braking, the Allison 4800 ORS transmission ensures optimum drivability for off-road heavy duty-cycle operations. The 4800 ORS is equipped with Allison’s patented Continuous Power Technology, featuring a hydraulic torque converter which smoothly multiplies peak engine torque, delivering more power to the wheels than other transmission technology. While a manual or automated manual transmission (AMT) loses power with every shift, an Allison smoothly shifts between gears without power interruption. This results in faster acceleration, increased performance and greater operational flexibility.
