Allison transmission for CNG buses in Istanbul
17 February 2013
www.chinabuses.org: Allison Transmission, the world’s largest manufacturer of fully-automatic transmissions for medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, has been selected by the Turkish bus manufacturer TCV to supply its automatic transmission. It will feature 24 Karat full low-floor, CNG-fuelled, 12-meter buses to Otobüs in Istanbul. Allison Transmission is already known in the Turkish public transport sector for midi bus applications and this delivery signifies the company’s entrance into the full-size 12-meter bus market in Turkey. The Turkish designed TCV Karat is powered by a MAN CNG engine (206 kW) combined with an Allison T310R fully automatic transmission.
The Allison automatic perfectly complements the MAN gas engine, since it multiplies torque through the transmission while smoothly transferring power to the wheels and delivering excellent performance even at low engine speed. An Allison integral retarder provides additional braking, significantly improving vehicle service brake life.
