Offers solutions for fuel consumption and emissions

Allison Transmission will exhibit a wide range of technology, from fuel -independent drive solutions to allison Egen Power® full electric axes for municipal and waste collection vehicles.

Allison Transmission, the leader designer and manufacturer of conventional, electric hybrid and full electric vehicle drive solutions, will exhibit its product range in IFAT 2024 (13-17 May, Munich, Salon C6, Stand 250). Allison offers a wide range of waste collection and a wide range of drive solutions, including full automatic transmissions compatible with alternative fuels and the Egen Power® family, which consists of developing full electric axes. Allison is the choice of the largest waste collection fleets in Western Europe.

Allison Egen Power® Full Electric AC Family

Allison’s Egen Power® Full Electric AC family replaces the traditional transfer bodies of the vehicle and provides easy installation and integration to the existing vehicle chassis. Egen Power® contains full integrated electric motors, a multi -gear gear box, oil cooler and pump. Technology is compatible with full battery electric vehicles (BEVs), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and hybrid applications and provide 100 %of the engine torque during regenerative braking. Egen Power 100S electric axle was recently preferred by Oshkosh Corporation for the first full integrated, zero -emission electric waste collection truck in North America. The 100S has been successfully integrated into the McNEilus® Volterra ZSL electric waste collection truck. Each vehicle will be produced with two 100s e-axes in the tandem configuration.

Fuel -independent solutions

Allison continues to optimize drive solutions in order to meet the energy efficiency needs of waste collection and other municipal applications for internal combustion motor vehicles. Allison fully automatic transmissions are compatible with alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG), biogas and hydrogen, allowing fleets to reduce emissions caused by internal combustion motor vehicles. For example, Abfallwirtschaftschaftsbetriebe München (AWM) has recently purchased 34 Scania CNG waste trucks with allison 3000 series transmission to reduce emissions in Munich city center. The AWM currently runs a total of 184 waste collection vehicles (RVC), and about 80 %(almost 150 vehicles) have a full automatic transmission equipment.

Fuel cell trucks reinforced with allison

The Hector project, in which the seven European regions show how the waste collection vehicles operating with fuel cells can help reduce emissions, there are two allison-equipped vehicles: Aberdeen’s new hydrogen Mercedes-Benz Econic Waste Collection Tool, 250 kilowatt (KW) Hyzon electric motor is used with the equipment with the fully automatic equipment. The Hector project in Herten, Germany, the DAF CF340 double -sleeve loader, is equipped with the Allison 3200 full automatic transmission.

Efficient XFE Technology

Allison offers its full automatic transmission, which is the leader in municipal and waste collection applications, with XFE fuel saving technology. XFE technology has proven to reduce fuel consumption up to 3.7 %compared to standard 3000 series transmissions according to Vecto task cycle calculations. This data may vary according to application or truck. The largest gains are obtained at speeds of 32 km/h (20 miles/h) depending on the axle ratio and over 72 km/h (45 miles/h). The XFE uses Fuelsense® 2.0, a unique electronic control package that can save up to 6 %to savings.

Allison’s newest fuel saving software with Dynactivive® gear -changing feature will be displayed on IFAT, the 3000 XFE will be displayed with Allison Fuelsense® 2.0 package. Dynactive gear replacement feature uses an algorithm based on factors such as vehicle weight, road slope, dur-akfate frequency and gas use to optimize gear-changing points for better fuel efficiency and performance. FuelSense 2.0 is especially useful for vehicles used in tasks that require frequent dur-goals, ideal for municipal and waste collection vehicles.

Recently, France’s European metropolis Strasbourg preferred Allison transmissions to reduce emissions as part of the low emission zone (lez) application. Currently, the fleet of 300 vehicles has a full automatic transmission equipment Allison.
