Featuring the latest in advanced control system technology, Allison transmissions deliver greater responsiveness and superior shifting performance. Additionally, depending on operational needs and bus requirements, Allison designs tailored solutions in order to deliver the best combination of economy and performance.
Due to its large population and rapid growth of per capita vehicle ownership, Beijing traffic is facing unprecedented challenges. Dozens of roads become congested during rush hour, and high concentrations of fuel emissions have become a major source of air pollution. As such, the use of clean energy and exhaust emission reduction solutions has become a top priority.
Allison Transmission recently launched FuelSense®, a fuel-saving technology. By utilizing a set of advanced software, including 5th Generation Controls and EcoCal, Dynamic Shift Sensing and Neutral at Stop features, Allison has taken fuel savings to a whole new level.
According to Beijing Public Transportation Group technicians, Allison transmissions allow their buses to upshift automatically, enabling operation in high gear even at low speeds to achieve optimal fuel economy. Neutral at Stop reduces or eliminates engine load while the vehicle is stopped, further reducing fuel consumption. The result is that buses equipped with Allison transmissions can realize maximum fuel economy, while reducing exhaust emissions.
Smog is a top issue at the two national summits. Through energy savings and emissions reduction, Allison’s FuelSense features help improve air quality in the capital. Allison is committed to being socially responsible with the products it produces and the communities where it conducts business.
Allison was previously honored with a partnership medal by the Beijing Public Transportation Group in recognition of superior service and reliability as a result of trouble-free bus operation during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. As a result of their reliability, safety and environmental friendliness, Allison Automatics were installed in the more than 12,000 buses and played a key role in improving both travel and air quality during the Olympics.
