Allison Transmission has announced that its 5th Generation electronic controls, now available to OEM customers, have been designed to match the latest vehicle electrical-electronic architectures and for easy integration during assembly while still addressing varying OEM and operator requirements.
The new controls feature enhanced programming and a new bump lever selector design. Allison also focused on upgrading TCM hardware and software for faster, more precise processing capabilities.
Embedded in the 5th Generation control module is a new inclinometer, which the company says improves Load Based Shift Scheduling (LBSS) performance by making the automatic selection between economy and performance shift schedules faster and more accurate. The new generation of electronic controls also provides two additional acceleration levels.
