James A. Allison started the company that bears his name in 1915. The engineers at Allison started out by building race cars and evolved to making aircraft engines and introduced the world to heavy-duty, automatic transmissions. Allison transmission is the largest manufacturer, designer, and distributor of medium- and heavy-duty fully automatic transmissions and hybrid propulsion systems in the world. The Allison brand is associated with reliability, quality, and durability all over the world. Discover the benefits of having an Allison transmission in your truck and make some upgrades today.
More Reliable
The Allison transmission is built to last. It is a rugged transmission that is designed to take a beating and keep on working mile after mile. The transmissions have minimum maintenance requirements and that means less downtime in the shop taking care of it, and in turn, fewer maintenance costs. The clutch uses a torque converter instead of a dry clutch, and that eliminates clutch repairs and replacements that come along with manual and automated manual transmissions. Routine oil and filter changes are the only regular preventative maintenance requirements for the Allison transmission.
Fuel Efficiency
The cost of fuel is in constant flux; it can be down one day and up the next. One thing is for sure, though: you need that fuel to stay on the road. Fuel efficiency becomes a big concern then, and the more you have, the better. Allison has Continuous Power Technology that doubles engine torque at launch and delivers power to the wheels without interruption. That technology means trucks with an Allison accelerate faster and work faster and more efficiently within the duty-cycle speeds. Every transmission comes with enhanced electronic controls that increase fuel economy for vehicles specific needs.
Better Performance
Be it construction, delivery service, or a city bus, Allison transmission are designed to deliver better performance no matter what the vocation is. They are fully automatic transmissions, so there is no operator-induced damage. Shifting, jamming, and grinding gears will take a toll on any transmission, so this is eliminated. Unlike a manual transmission, there is no loss of power when shifting gears. All the power stays and every bit of horsepower is delivered to the wheels, resulting in quicker trips and more work getting done.
They Are Easy to Use
Allison transmissions are fully automatic and much easier to use. Learning to use a manual transmission can be difficult and tricky for some people, and as a result less people are learning how every year. An automatic transmission means the driver can start up the truck and hit the road with a minimum of training. This means that more drivers can be added to the fleet to meet the demands of customers.

My Father has a GMC 2500 with the Allison 6 speed and tows a old school wooden cabin cruiser. To this day we have had 0-ZERO issues with this awesomely reliable transmission. Along with the torque during take off at a stop or on a boat ramp in 3ft of water loading up the boat and pulling up and out of the ramp,the power is there without fail or if we are cruising down interstate 1 at 65-70 mph the fuel efficiency is there as well. Don’t get it twisted,just because we may be in overdrive traveling down the interstate that doesn’t mean we don’t have the hp and trq to pass at will. I am a forever Allison believer and now I have converted him to the brotherhood of Allison transmissions. Lol. Rather the durability and reliability of his truck with the Allison 6 speed has converted him itself. I commend you and your company for your devotion to your product. I am a auto tech by trade and by passion so I can understand the inner aspect of designing and manufacturing such a transmission. I once again thank you and more importantly my Father thanks you . Keep doing what you….
