As a leading designer and manufacturer of traditional and electric vehicle drive

As a leading designer and manufacturer of traditional and electric vehicle drive solutions and a globally renowned producer of fully automatic transmissions for medium and heavy commercial vehicles, Allison Transmission Company is pleased to announce that since the beginning of this year, numerous partners have successfully delivered hundreds of wide-body mining vehicles equipped with Allison WBD series transmissions to the mining areas of Xinjiang.

The Allison WBD(Wide-body Mining Truck) series of gearboxes are specially designed for special equipment vehicles operating in harsh conditions and environments. They enjoy a high reputation in the global mining industry for their unparalleled performance, quality, durability and reliability, as well as their ability to offer a wider torque range and withstand higher total vehicle weight. Since the beginning of this year, a total of 301 large-tonnage wide-body mining trucks equipped with Allison 4800WBD series gearboxes have been delivered to mining areas such as Heishan and Wucaiwan in Xinjiang, respectively from Lingong Heavy Machinery, Tongli Heavy Industry and Shandong Pengxiang. They are mainly used for soil and rock stripping and ore transportation tasks in open-pit mines.

In the central part of Xinjiang, where the snow-capped mountains meet the sky, lies the Xinjiang Heishan Open-pit Coal Mine. Here, the altitude is high, the climate is extremely cold and it is far from the city. The Wucaiwan Open-pit Coal Mine, a national key project, is located in the eastern part of the Junggar Basin and features a typical desert terrain. The Allison WBD series gearboxes are meticulously designed and are particularly suitable for long-term operation of mining dump trucks under heavy loads in harsh and rough road conditions such as slopes, mountains, dirt and gravel roads. They can significantly enhance productivity and are easy to operate.

When our vehicles are equipped with Allison transmissions, their power becomes more powerful, and we can carry more coal and ore back and forth. As a result, our profits will also increase. As long as the operation is proper, there is no need to worry about quality or vehicle maintenance issues at all. Just change the oil and filter element according to the standard. "This has largely reduced our maintenance costs," said Jin Hongxin, vice president of the Black Mountain Team. We have a deep understanding that automatic transmissions can better integrate the engine and the rear axle, thereby extending the overall service life. We highly recognize Allison transmissions.

Torque converter technology brings reliable performance to automatic transmissions. 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 and ensure stable vehicle operation. Meanwhile, the torque converter can increase the torque, enhance the vehicle's starting ability, and effectively prevent the vehicle from rolling back on slopes. The hydraulic transmission of the torque converter can reduce mechanical shock and increase the service life of the engine and axle.

"Driving the Allison automatic transmission is much easier. It's not as tiring as before. It's powerful when going uphill, doesn't roll back, shifts gears smoothly and doesn't drop gears," said Wang Ziran, a driver of a mining truck at the Heishan Coal Mine in Xinjiang. I have more energy to pay attention to the road conditions, and then I feel more at ease when driving at night. We all like to drive cars equipped with Allison automatic transmission.

During the daily operation of the vehicle, the Allison automatic transmission enables the driver to focus more on the vehicle's control. The pre-diagnosis function can provide early feedback on the maintenance requirements and health status of the transmission, and the gearshift can easily review fault codes. "Adaptive gear shifting" is a fundamental control function for improving gear shifting quality. It constantly monitors different operating conditions and collects data such as turbine speed, engine speed, transmission output speed, and throttle position, etc. Evaluate the size of the load, control the timing of gear shifting, and adjust the release of the clutch to achieve the best smoothness of gear shifting.

Wu Jian, the 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. Allison Transmission can fully meet any specific requirements of customers." Based on Allison's brand commitment, we will continue to provide more fleets with reliable and high-value drive solutions, enhancing fleet productivity and reducing the total cost of vehicle ownership.
