Allison Transmission Inc., a global designer and manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty automatic transmissions and hybrid propulsion systems, announced it has manufactured its 1 millionth 1000/2000 Series transmission.
Jim Wanaselja, vice president of North American marketing sales and service for Allison Transmission, presented Bob Mann, vice president of dealer sales for Navistar, Inc., with the transmission during a ceremony held at Allison’s world headquarters, the company said.
“Allison Transmission is proud to be able to share this important milestone with our valued customer Navistar,” said Wanaselja.
“On behalf of Navistar, I would like to express how much we value our corporate relationship with Allison Transmission, and what an honor it is to receive not only a great product, but a legendary one at that,” Mann said.
1000/2000 Series transmissions are used in a variety of applications including distribution, construction, school buses, emergency vehicles and motor homes. Allison said its fully automatic transmissions with torque converter technology provide superior vehicle performance, increased productivity, reduced driveline wear and tear and lower overall vehicle life cycle costs.
