INDIANAPOLIS, July 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Allison Transmission has formed a
new strategic partnership with Lingong Heavy Machinery Co. Ltd.
(LGMG), a prominent Chinese mining equipment manufacturer, to
provide industry-leading mining vehicles to customers across the
globe. As a next step in the companies' long-term partnership, LGMG
has integrated Allison 6625 Wide Body Dump Series™ (WBD)
transmissions into 136T wide body mining dump trucks, which will be
delivered to international customers for hauling overburden and ore
in mine sites. Allison's latest collaboration with LGMG marks the
first time that the company has integrated an Allison fully
automatic transmission into the larger 136T crossover vehicle,
which has been fielded for trials in Chile, China,
Indonesia and Vietnam.
"Allison has never let us down. In terms of technological
maturity and cost of ownership, Allison transmissions feature low
failure rates, exceptional durability, cutting-edge performance and
reliable quality," said Bingjian Zhao, Vice Sales Director,
Overseas Business, LGMG. "LGMG mining trucks equipped with Allison
transmissions can operate longer and more efficiently, even in the
harshest working conditions, making them highly sought after among
our mining customers."
Allison WBD transmissions are highly regarded in the global
mining industry for their unrivalled performance. This integration
will deliver smooth full-throttle, high-torque starts and enable
the vehicle to intelligently shift gears in response to changes in
road conditions and gradients. The WBD transmission eliminates
issues that vehicles equipped with manual transmissions face, such
as insufficient starting power under heavy loads and difficulty
shifting gears.
"Allison transmissions meet the stringent requirements of
leading mining truck manufacturers due to their ability to increase
maneuverability and deliver superior driving performance on
difficult terrain while maximizing vehicle uptime and lowering
maintenance costs," said Kartik Ramanan, Executive Director, Global
Off-Highway, Customer Support & Service Engineering, Allison
Transmission. "The strategic partnership between Allison and LGMG
is rooted in a shared commitment to quality and expanding our
global presence. We're pleased to form a new strategic partnership
to support our continued collaboration."
