Allison Transmission and Leonardo DRS received the 2020 Technology Innovators Award from Military & Aerospace Electronics for their collaboration on the TITAN On Board Vehicle Power (OBVP) system. This system integrates a generator within the Allison 3200 Specialty Series transmission, enhancing agility and reducing logistics by eliminating the need for separate generator trailers. The OBVP can generate up to 120 kW while stationary and 55 kW during movement, catering to the increasing power demands of modern military vehicles.
Allison Transmission has introduced a new transmission fluid, TES 668™, specifically designed for its 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 Series automatic transmissions. This advanced formulation offers significant benefits over traditional mineral-based fluids, including improved oxidative stability, anti-wear performance, and reduced noise and vibration. TES 668 supports long drain intervals under heavy loads and is essential for maintaining product durability. Allison is working on additional approvals for various oil marketers, with updates available on their website.
