Allison Transmission Inc. supplied automatic transmissions for 600 low floor buses which were used during the Commonwealth Games (CWG) in New Delhi. Allison Transmission has worked with Tata Motors to deliver buses which provided transportation to officials, athletes, press, and spectators in Delhi.
Mr. Ram Amarnath, Managing Director of Allison Transmission India Private Limited, said,"Allison Transmission along with Tata Motors is pleased to be associated with the prestigious Commonwealth games in Delhi and sincerely hopes that our Indian and international guests had a pleasant experience. The benefits of switching from a manual transmission to a smoother, more efficient Allison automatic transmission has been evident as more people are embracing these buses and enjoying the technology."
The DTC had recently added over 2600 Allison-equipped Tata Marcopolo Low-floor CNG powered buses and about 700 Ashok Leyland Low-Floor CNG buses to its fleet. Several cities and airport authorities across the country are modernizing their fleets of buses. Allison is helping Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to deliver efficient, comfortable and clean public transport.
