Joining hands with FAW Allison Transmission to accelerate its entry into the Chinese truck market

Allison Transmission Company Vice President Hudley

As we all know, Allison's automatic transmissions are currently used in the field of passenger cars, and there are not many applications on trucks. The reason is that on the one hand, Chinese users have a limited knowledge of automatic transmissions, and the automatic transmission market has yet to be cultivated; On the other hand, the high price of automatic transmissions also discourages truck users. Therefore, to promote automatic transmission in trucks, Allison must solve these two problems.

Demand is changing in the market

It is understood that Allison entered China in 1981. Currently, in the Chinese market, Allison’s transmission has more than 30,000 units. In Beijing alone, more than 13,000 buses are equipped with Allison transmissions. The sales in the truck market are much less impressive, but Hedley, vice president of Allison Transmission, is very optimistic about China's truck market. He told reporters that in the field of automatic transmission in the Chinese market and other countries in the world market development and growth process is the same. “In the mature market, we have also experienced starting with the non-road market first, then applying the product to the urban bus market, and then the truck market.”

Allison’s footprint in China has also verified this, and Allison has also started from China’s non-road market. In the past ten years, Allison has entered the bus market and urban bus market in China. After a certain success in the off-highway market and the passenger car market, the truck market will become the next goal of the Allison transmission. Hedley said that as the market continues to mature, users will want to obtain greater benefits to obtain greater benefits, so they will put forward higher requirements for products. For example, today's truck users are increasingly demanding for product safety, energy saving, and environmental protection, and this will inevitably increase the demand for products. Hedley told reporters that the Allison transmission can just meet the increasing demand of truck users in China, so there is reason to believe that the application of Allison transmission in the truck field is very promising.

High reliability reduces operating costs

Surveys have shown that in the Chinese truck market, prices have been one of the main factors that dominate consumption. As a result, many users complain that the price of the Allison transmission is too high. If equipped with an Allison transmission, the entire car cost will increase.

In this regard, Hudley calculated such an account for the reporter, although the initial investment is large, but the Allison transmission can bring an overall value-added vehicles. The durability of Allison automatic transmission is an unbeatable advantage. It can achieve amazing durability performance under great work intensity. With Allison transmission, the entire maintenance cost will be low, and the maintenance cost will also be low. Low; secondly, productivity will increase, and the corresponding operating income will also increase. Under the same task conditions, the number of vehicles required will decrease, while the reduction in vehicles will mean that the number of drivers will be reduced and maintenance costs will be reduced. All materials The cost will be reduced. Third, the gearbox's role in the entire drive train can't be ignored. With Allison's gearbox, clutch replacement costs and time needed can be saved.

In this way, although the initial costs are high, the maintenance costs will increase as the operating revenue increases, so the overall operating costs will be greatly reduced. Overall, buying Allison products is still very cost-effective.

However, this is only the manufacturer's theoretical data. What is the real situation? Li Tiejun, head of the Benxi Heavy-duty Company of Allison Transmission users, told reporters: “I’ll give you a very simple example, using Allison automatic transmission. The car's light box can save a lot of brakes, because it does not have the wear of the clutch, but also reduces the damage to the drive train, and the damage to the brake pads is reduced; not only that, like the manual transmission is turning When the tire wears greatly, it also causes damage to the brake. If this can be protected, it will protect the engine. The engine is more expensive. This account is very good!" It is reported that Benxi Heavy Company has been in the late 80s. It began to use the Allison 8000 series gearbox, and now all of its company's more than 200 vehicles are equipped with Allison automatic transmissions.
