Insights
Allison's expanded CNG transmission offering strengthens their market position in sustainable commercial vehicles, particularly for waste management.
Allison Transmission's announcement of the 3000 Series™ availability for CNG-powered Mack Granite trucks represents a strategic expansion of their alternative fuel commercial vehicle portfolio. This follows their 2023 launch of the 4500 Rugged Duty Series™ with the same truck model, creating a more complete product lineup targeting different segments of the waste management market.
The 3000 Series targets lighter-duty waste applications where lower acquisition costs are prioritized over maximum gross vehicle weight ratings. This positions Allison to capture market share in cost-sensitive segments while maintaining their foothold in heavier-duty applications with the 4500 Series. The company effectively covers a broader spectrum of the waste management vehicle market with this dual offering strategy.
The partnership with Mack Trucks reinforces Allison's position in the commercial vehicle transmission market, particularly as the industry gradually transitions toward alternative fuels. By highlighting how their automatic transmissions provide superior performance with CNG engines compared to manual transmissions and AMTs (Automated Manual Transmissions), Allison is differentiating their product in an increasingly sustainability-focused market.
This product expansion aligns with growing regulatory and market pressures for reduced emissions in commercial vehicles. Waste management fleets represent an ideal target for CNG adoption due to their predictable routes, return-to-base operations, and public-facing nature. By strengthening their offering in this segment, Allison is positioning for growth in a market segment with strong sustainability drivers while leveraging their core technological advantages in automatic transmissions.
A Sustainable and Efficient Solution for Waste Management Applications
"This expanded powertrain option gives our customers more flexibility to optimize their trucks specifically for lighter duty waste applications," said Jonathan Randall, president, Mack Trucks North America. "By offering the Allison 3000 paired with the L9N, we're delivering a solution that reduces acquisition costs while maintaining the reliability and performance Mack customers expect, particularly for light-duty roll-off applications where a higher GVWR isn't necessary."
Allison transmissions pair seamlessly with different fuel types, including diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG) and other alternative fuels. Allison-equipped natural gas vehicles maximize performance while reducing emissions and engine noise levels, leading to a better experience for drivers, customers and the general public.
"Pairing Allison transmissions with natural gas engines leverages our torque converter to ensure peak performance and fuel efficiency. Unlike manuals and AMTs, our automatics maintain seamless, full-power shifts, enabling vehicles to travel farther in less time. This allows refuse fleets to achieve sustainability goals without sacrificing productivity," said Rohan Barua, Vice President, North America Sales, Global Channel and Aftermarket, Allison Transmission. "The CNG-powered Mack Granite will optimize fleet productivity, improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. We are proud to partner with Mack on this initiative."
The 3000 Series™ is designed to make medium and heavy-duty vehicles more fuel efficient and easier to operate. They are engineered to meet the demands of various applications including distribution, refuse, utility services, fire and emergency, transit buses and more. 3000 Series™ transmissions can accommodate engines with power ratings ranging from 210 to 450 horsepower (157-336 kW) and torque capacities up to 1,250 lb-ft (1,695 N•m).
