These buses delivered are mainly CNG models, which can help improve urban air quality and decrease pollutant emission. Due to abundant natural gas reserves, Venezuela has low cost of natural gas. Thus, government of Venezuela develops natural gas vigorously, which provides good space for promoting clean energy use.

Zhou Laisong, GM of Allison China, said, “For natural gas vehicle, Allison automatic transmission is the best to equip with. Compared with diesel vehicle, CNG/LNG bus is always of insufficient power. However, Continuous Power Technology? of Allison automatic transmission can increase torque of engine, transfer power constantly to driving wheel, resolve slow response of accelerator and realize smooth driving. Therefore, maximum function of natural gas engine can be developed.”

Hydraulic torque converter, a patent of Allison, can increase torque of engine, improve start performance of the vehicle, and decrease impact of transmission system. Allison transmission can as well be equipped with integrated hydraulic retarder as an option, which can make up the insufficient braking torque of natural gas engine and improve the whole braking performance.

Along with rapid development of various countries of South America, demanding of customers are motivated including demand for Yutong high-end bus. Since 2005, Allison has been cooperated with Yutong Bus closely in bus and travel bus overseas markets. Yutong buses equipped with Allison transmission not only export to South America, but also export to South Africa, Asia, Russia and Australia.

In 2012, gross volume of Chinese commercial vehicle export was 428,400 units, increasing almost 13% year on year. Meanwhile, export of Yutong medium & large buses exceeded 5,000 units, which increased about 36% year on year and help Yutong Bus become the domestic largest bus exporter.

Recently, China bus enterprises focus on improving value, prefer advanced parts and improve vehicular performance and brand recognition. Therefore, export volume of bus keeps increasing. Allison assists Chinese export vehicles improve performance and competitiveness and become trustworthy cooperative partner of China bus in developing overseas market.
