INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Allison Transmission debuted the
Allison's 6000 Series™ transmission for wide body dump (WBD) trucks
at Bauma CHINA 2024, an
international tradeshow for construction and mining machinery. The
6625 WBD transmission is designed to meet the high-performance
demands of WBD trucks under rigorous operating conditions, offering
unparalleled operational efficiency and reduced total cost of
ownership.
"The launch of the 6000 Series transmission in WBD trucks
underscores Allison's commitment to delivering specialized
solutions to customers in China
and the export markets they serve," said Brian Geiselhart, Executive Director, Asia
Pacific Sales, Allison Transmission. "The diversification of our
portfolio supports Allison's strategic growth initiative to
increase our market share in off-highway applications outside
North America."
The solution was developed based on the 6000 Off-Road
Series™ (ORS) transmissions, which have a proven track record
as reliable workhorses in mining trucks worldwide. Through close
OEM partnership with premium brands such as Lingong Heavy Machinery
Co. Ltd. (LGMG) and stringent field testing in Indonesia, Vietnam and Chile, the Allison 6625 WBD transmission has
proven its effectiveness in the WBD truck sector. Originally
designed for heavy-duty vehicles including off-highway trucks, oil
field rigs and cranes, this transmission now supports
higher-tonnage WBD trucks, reaching a maximum gross vehicle weight
(GVW) of up to 136 metric tons. As the WBD truck market continues
to expand and evolve, Allison is committed to continually updating
our product portfolio to provide customers with a broader portfolio
of solutions to choose from based on their unique needs.
Featuring Allison's patented torque converter and Continuous
Power Technology™, the 6625 WBD transmission enables smooth, high
torque starts and delivers continuous powerful output. To
anticipate maintenance needs, the transmission features advanced
diagnostic capabilities, allowing drivers to monitor transmission
status in real time. The Shift Energy Management function
effectively protects the transmission clutch and reduces shift
shocks.
