Allison Transmission announced Tuesday it is collaborating with LHP Telematics, an industry leader in creating custom white label telematics solutions focused on OEMs and dealer networks in the off-highway, on-highway, construction, motor coach, and agriculture markets.
Allison says this collaboration will help improve remote support of fourth and fifth-generation Allison transmissions.
“Partnering with LHP Telematics is the next step in our commitment to extend Allison’s growth in the connected ecosystem. More of Allison’s customers will receive remote access to critical information about their transmissions from sources they know and trust,” says John Coll, senior vice president, global marketing, sales and service at Allison Transmission.
“The Allison partnership further enhances our ability to offer custom CAN-enabled solutions to our OEM customers that have additional value propositions above and beyond standard telematics. The transmission is one of the most complex and expensive components on most equipment and this service can reduce costs and downtime at the OEM, dealer and end customer,” says Travis Jones, CTO of LHP Telematics.
Allison Transmission says it is committed to powering the global connected vehicle ecosystem with telematics system providers, fleet management software providers and OEMs to support existing and new customers with connected capabilities. Support for additional vocations and global regions is planned, the company says.
