Allison Transmission is a manufacturer of automatic transmissions for medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicle applications. The company's headquarters are located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The original
Indianapolis plant dates to the
September 14,
1915 founding of the Indianapolis Speedway Team Company by James A. Allison. Changing its name in 1918 to the Allison Experimental Company, the company contributed to the United States' buildup to fight World War I. In 1909, James Allison started the Indianapolis 500 race to prove the automobile components they manufactured. Now known as the Allison Engineering Company, Allison produced
bearings for the Liberty engine.
In addition to its Indianapolis plant, Allison operates manufacturing facilities in
Baltimore, Maryland (US),
Szentgotthard (Hungary), and
Santo Amaro, Brazil (Brazil).
General Motors purchased the company in 1929 on the death of the founder, becoming the Allison Division in
1934. The company's Allison V-1710 12-cylinder aircraft engine made the
Allison Engine Company a major force in aviation. In the
1960s, the company produced the M551 and
M109 for the military.
In the 1940s, Allison introduced the
Allison CD-850 tank transmission (mechanics), transforming the company again. The company's Allison MT-25 was its first major success in on-road transmissions, and the company continues to produce high-torque
automatic transmissions today. Allison six-speed automatic transmissions can commonly be found fitted to buses fromMotor Coach Industries.
On June 28, 2007, GM announced that it was selling its Allison unit to
private equity firms The Carlyle Group and
Onex Corporation, in a deal valued at $5.6 billion. Reuters/Yahoo! News: "GM selling Allison for $5.6 billion," 2007-06-28. The transaction closed on August 7, 2007. GM retains the Baltimore plant, which produces the 1000 Series transmission used in GM medium duty pickup trucks.
Allison Transmission developed the hybrid electric technology that General Motors will use in the forthcoming hybrid-drive vehicles, and is incorporated in
hybrid propulsion systems for
buses primarily assembled by
New Flyer Industries and Gillig.
