Allison Transmission is at IDEF ‘21 With Its Solutions Offered for Wheeled and Tracked Military Vehicles
Offering propulsion solutions for both tracked and wheeled military vehicles for almost 80 years, Allison Transmission will showcase its products at the 15th IDEF International Defense Industry Fair this year. Allison, whose propulsion solutions are used in more than 600,000 military vehicles worldwide, also develops its products intended for the changing and growing needs of the defense industry as one of the world's leading propulsion systems manufacturers. Allison Transmission will showcase its solutions offered for tracked and wheeled vehicles at the same stand for the first time at IDEF ‘21 between August 17th and 20th (İstanbul TÜYAP Fair Convention and Congress Center, Hall 7 - Stand 700).
Allison Transmission, which has a wide range of propulsion solutions for all light, medium, and heavy-duty tracked or wheeled military vehicles, will join IDEF ‘21 with Hema HST Otomotiv, Turkey, Allison’s licensed manufacturer in Turkey, for the tracked vehicles. At the Allison stand, the Allison 3000 Series™ transmissions for the wheeled vehicles range and the X1100™-5A4 (the transmission for the Next Generation T-155 Self Propelled FIRTINA Howitzer [FIRTINA II] Program and an exciting solution for upgrade of M60 Main battle Tanks), 3040 MX™ and X200™ 4C cross-drive fully automatic transmissions for the tracked vehicle range will be showcased. Allison will also be introducing its newest developmental transmission, the Next Generation Electrified Transmission, which integrates a hybrid-electric motor into tracked vehicles, providing both blended torque to propel the vehicle and auxiliary electric power to support the numerous systems ranging from computers to directed energy weapons requiring electrical power in modern vehicles.
The Allison fully automatic transmission, which is also the preference of leading Turkish military vehicle manufacturers thanks to their proven reliability in military operations, will be able to be inspected in many vehicles showcased at the exhibition. Leading Turkish OEM’s such as FNSS, BMC, OTOKAR, NUROL MAKİNA, KATMERCİLER, and ANADOLU SAVUNMA will be showcasing their most advanced vehicles equipped with Allison Automatics at the fair.
Allison transmissions provide outstanding performance by transferring the high power produced by the engine to the wheels and tracks optimally by means of advanced electronic controls. Allison fully automatic transmissions provide higher torque ranges and gross vehicle weight capacity for military applications. It improves vehicle performance and control in all terrain types, especially on slopes and soft ground, and also delivers exceptional braking and driving experience for tracked vehicles.
Allison Automatics makes the right shift at the right time to provide greater protection for the driveline and ensure faster acceleration, perfect control, and better maneuverability. Unlike manual and automated manual transmissions (AMTs), Allison fully automatic transmissions prevent power interruptions and provide smooth, continuous, full-power shifts. Allison's patented torque converter ensures the extremely high torque to be transferred to the driveline gradually. This allows the vehicle to accelerate smoothly and steadily in all road and terrain conditions. Risks such as jolting, stopping, or rolling back are prevented.
Allison transmissions help military vehicles to be ready at all times while ensuring lower maintenance and therefore lower repair costs thanks to less wear and tear. Outstanding control and maneuverability mean less fatigue, higher concentration, and fewer accident risks for drivers and crew.
