When failure isn't an option, the drivetrain matters.

Supacat's Jackal, built for reconnaissance and long-range patrol in hostile terrain, has relied on the Allison 2500 Series™ transmission from day one.

Paired with a Cummins six-cylinder engine, it's delivered the power to climb, cross and conquer and the reliability to bring soldiers home. Through every evolution of the Jackal, the Allison 2500 has absorbed the demands without missing a beat.

As Supacat's Toby Cox puts it, "Why would we introduce any risk by wanting to change the transmission? It does everything we need it to."
Power you can count on. Reliability that brings them home.

Passenger comfort and fuel efficiency don’t have to be a trade-off.
Every bus operator is balancing the same priorities: delivering a comfortable passenger experience while managing operating costs.

For coaches and transit buses, frequent stops, changing passenger loads and varying road conditions all influence fuel consumption and vehicle performance.

In Episode 3 of , we explore how xFE technology, built on Allison’s 2000 and 3000 Series™ transmissions, uses adaptive shift strategies to continuously balance fuel efficiency and performance based on real operating conditions.

The result is a transmission that learns, adapts and helps operators optimize efficiency without compromising the smooth ride passengers expect.

Watch the latest episode to discover how intelligent shifting supports both fleet performance and passenger comfort.

What matters most to your operation, reducing operating costs, improving passenger comfort or maximizing route efficiency?

⚙️ Three components. One axis. Infinite capability.

The planetary gear set —sun gear, carrier and ring gear — is the engineering core of every Allison fully automatic transmission.

Always mechanically connected, it delivers smooth seamless shifts with no synchronization required, shares torque load across multiple planets for exceptional strength and packages multiple gear ratios into a remarkably compact space.

No wonder Allison feels different behind the wheel.

Can you improve fuel efficiency without giving up performance?

Fuel efficiency and productivity are often seen as competing priorities.
What if the right transmission strategy could help deliver both?

In Episode 2 of , we explore how xFE technology optimizes shift strategies to keep the engine operating more efficiently throughout the duty cycle.

By enabling earlier torque converter lockup and intelligent shift scheduling, xFE is designed to help fleets improve fuel efficiency while maintaining the performance demanded by real-world operations.

Whether your vehicles operate in urban delivery, refuse collection or regional distribution, understanding how shift strategy influences fuel consumption is the first step toward making informed fleet decisions.

▶ Watch the video to learn how intelligence in every shift can support smarter fleet performance.

Where do you see the greatest opportunity to improve fuel efficiency, vehicle specification, driver behavior or route planning?

A milestone built on partnership in Japan.

This month, we celebrated a major milestone with our partners at Isuzu and Keisei Bus Group, the 20,000th delivery of an Allison T-model–equipped Isuzu Erga large city bus.

For operators across Japan, the challenges are clear, driver shortages and heavy urban congestion demand smoother, easier vehicle operation. Today, more than 70% of Japan's large city buses rely on Allison fully automatic transmissions, delivering seamless acceleration, reduced driver workload and a more comfortable ride for passengers.

Manufacturers including Isuzu and J-Bus continue to adopt Allison's torque converter technology to support downsized engines while maintaining strong, dependable performance, a combination that matters in demanding duty cycles.

Our commitment to Japan's transit operators extends beyond the transmission. With 33 certified service dealers and ongoing training programs, we support these vehicles throughout their entire lifecycle , ensuring the reliability operators count on, every day.

We're proud to reach this milestone alongside our customers and we remain focused on what comes next.

From terrain to technology, how Sotero Ambiental transformed waste logistics in Salvador with Allison.

In a city sculpted by steep slopes and constant tourist traffic, waste collection isn't just routine, it's an engineering challenge. Sotero Ambiental, Salvador's main waste operator, found the answer with Allison fully automatic transmissions.

The results speak for themselves:
✅ 12–14% better fuel economy vs. manual
✅ Higher vehicle availability — no clutch-kit bottlenecks
✅ Maximum torque without power interruption

Since 2014, 42 vehicles in their fleet have been running Allison fully automatic transmissions, keeping downtime out of the equation in a duty cycle where it's simply not an option.

MYTH: Fuel efficiency is all about the engine.

The engine matters, but it’s only part of the equation.
How a transmission manages power, responds to changing operating conditions and determines when to shift can also influence a vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

That’s why Allison continues to develop technologies such as xFE™ and FuelSense® 2.0 with DynActive® Shifting, designed to find the right balance between fuel economy and the acceleration and performance your operation demands.

In the first episode of , we challenge two common assumptions about fully automatic transmissions and take a closer look at the role the drivetrain can play in fuel efficiency.

▶️ Before watching, Myth or fact — the engine has the greatest influence on your fleet’s fuel efficiency?

Fuel efficiency isn’t a single decision. It’s a series of smarter ones.

Every fleet is looking for ways to reduce fuel consumption, but achieving meaningful improvements takes more than simply changing driving habits or vehicle specifications.

Fuel efficiency is influenced by a combination of factors, including transmission technology, route profiles, vehicle load and driving strategy. Understanding how these elements work together can help fleets improve performance while maintaining productivity.

That’s why we’re launching , a new educational series designed to explore the technologies, strategies and real-world considerations that can help fleets make informed decisions about fuel efficiency.

Whether you manage a refuse fleet in Europe, a distribution fleet in North America or vocational vehicles in APAC, is designed to help you get more from every journey.
