Allison Hybrid Transmission First to Asian Market

Volgren-Iveco hybrid passenger car equipped with GM-Allison hybrid system debuted at the 2009 Melbourne Bus Maintenance Conference and Auto Expo

As a world-renowned supplier of fully automatic gearboxes and hybrid systems for commercial vehicles, Allison Transmission provides hybrid gearboxes for Volgren-Iveco hybrid buses and was installed at the Melbourne Bus Warranty Conference on June 29, 2009. The cum car show made its debut.

Allison cooperated closely with Iveco and Volgren and continued to focus on the development of the Australian automotive market, promoting its advanced dual-mode parallel hybrid technology locally.

Robert Cavagnino, sales and marketing manager of Allison ANZ, points out that Allison is increasingly becoming the favored choice for the hybrid passenger car market in North America and Europe. This exhibition marks the first time that the Allison hybrid power transmission has been introduced to the Asian market. .

Cavagnino said: “We understand that the Australian bus market needs a cleaner and greener transportation solution, so we look forward to playing with Allison’s expertise in hybrid drive technology to fully serve the Australian market. At present, there are more than 2,200 passenger cars equipped Allison’s GM-Allison dual-mode parallel hybrid transmission has been used in more than 115 cities around the world.These buses have traveled more than 200 million kilometers, saved more than 25 million liters of fuel, and reduced carbon dioxide emissions by six. More than 5,000 metric tons."

“On a global scale, Allison is also a leading supplier of automatic transmissions for buses. In 2008, about 50,000 buses were equipped with Allison transmissions, and there were only 14,000 buses in the city.”

The GM-Allison hybrid system uses a dual-mode parallel hybrid technology that combines traditional diesel engine drive and motor drive features. Based on the road conditions and speed, the system's control system selects the appropriate power system, or both.

At the heart of the hybrid system is the EV DriveTM unit, a continuously variable transmission that makes the hybrid system quieter, cleaner and more fuel-efficient. In Europe, it has been confirmed that depending on operating conditions, the EP SystemTM system can improve fuel economy by up to 24% and significantly reduce diesel exhaust emissions, including carbon dioxide and particulate matter.

Compared to conventional diesel vehicles, vehicle acceleration with the GM-Allison hybrid system is much smoother. Thanks to the installation of smart programs, the system provides optimum performance and fuel economy in all driving situations. Its regenerative braking function recovers the energy normally lost during braking. This system is particularly suitable for urban bus lines that stop frequently.

According to Cavagnino, Australian transport authorities and transport companies have already experienced the benefits of Allison's fully automatic power shift transmission. With Allison continuing to expand in the Australian market, EV DriveTM hybrid technology will be Allison. Take an important step.
