Allison WBD series gearboxes help Chinese mining truck manufacturers expand their markets overseas

Shanghai, September 11, 2023 - Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of drive solutions for traditional and electric vehicles and a globally renowned producer of fully automatic transmissions for medium and heavy commercial vehicles, is pleased to announce Many Chinese mining truck manufacturing enterprises have expanded their global business to the Americas, Asia and the Middle East by exporting mining trucks equipped with Allison WBD (Wide Body Dump) series gearboxes. Allison WBD series gearboxes can help off-road mining trucks increase productivity, enhance vehicle handling, and reduce operating costs.

The Allison 4800 WBD transmission is a product specially designed and developed for wide-body mining vehicles that operate in harsh and high-load environments. It enjoys an outstanding reputation in the global mining industry for its unparalleled performance, quality, durability and reliability, as well as its ability to offer a wider torque range and withstand a higher total vehicle weight.

In the first half of 2023, major domestic mining truck manufacturers, including Sany, Liugong, XCMG, Pengxiang, and Tongli, equipped wide-body mining trucks with Allison 4800WBD transmissions and exported them in bulk to countries such as Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, Brazil, South Africa, the Philippines, Ghana, and Eritrea. Carry out tasks such as soil and rock stripping in mines and ore transportation.

The Allison 4800 WBD transmission can achieve a full-throttle high-torque start, making it easy to start on slopes. It solves the problems of difficult starts, clutch burnout, and frequent failure and rolling of gears on slopes in manual transmissions. In addition, this transmission can automatically and intelligently shift gears according to the slope of the road conditions, ensuring uninterrupted power supply and keeping the engine running efficiently. This not only enhances the vehicle's uphill power performance but also guarantees safety. The integrated hydraulic retarder can assist in braking without thermal attenuation. When used in conjunction with the constant-speed downhill function, it can effectively prevent overspeeding when going downhill.

Wide-body mining trucks working in harsh environments need to carry heavy loads. Mining trucks equipped with Allison 4800 WBD transmissions are powerful and can handle frequent start-stop conditions as well as avoid potential faults caused by day and night use. Allison's hydraulic torque converter avoids the common clutch wear in manual transmissions. It only requires regular replacement of the filter element and oil to maintain the best performance of the transmission. Meanwhile, the hydraulic transmission of the torque converter can reduce mechanical shock and increase the service life of the engine and the axle. The Allison 4800 WBD transmission is also equipped with a pre-diagnostic function, which can provide early feedback on the maintenance requirements and health status of the transmission. The shifter can easily review fault codes.

During the daily operation of the vehicle, the Allison 4800 WBD transmission features more convenient operation, high reliability and low maintenance costs. These advantages enable drivers to focus more on vehicle control in harsh working environments, effectively reducing operational errors and simultaneously alleviating the driver's workload.

Mr. Wu Jian, the sales General Manager of Allison Transmission in China, said, "Allison is very glad to have maintained long-term cooperative relationships with major domestic mining truck manufacturers. We can fully meet any specific requirements of our customers." Based on Allison's brand commitment, we will continue to provide reliable and high-value drive solutions for more mining truck fleets in China and overseas, enhancing fleet productivity and reducing the total cost of vehicle ownership.
