Allison Transmission announced the delivery of its 2 millionth 1000/2000 Series transmission, a milestone in the company’s history of providing transmissions for light- and medium-duty commercial vehicles. The transmission was delivered to Penske Truck Leasing.
“We are proud to reach this meaningful milestone in the production and delivery of the 1000/2000 Series transmission,” says Rod Luke, executive director of Plant 4 1000/2000 Series production at Allison Transmission.
“This accomplishment speaks to Allison’s longstanding commitment to manufacturing high-quality propulsion solutions that are proven to help our fleet customers operate more efficiently and improve the way the world works. Reliability is Allison’s tradition, and our 1000 and 2000 Series product line has been a cornerstone in establishing Allison’s reputation for quality, reliability and durability since the launch of this product in 1998,” Luke says.
Allison’s 1000 Series and 2000 Series can be found everywhere in our communities, from ambulances to school buses, to municipal and distribution and delivery trucks that support essential businesses and critical infrastructure and support services. The 1000 and 2000 Series products remain the industry benchmark in a market that serves uncompromising end users, the company says.
