Allison Transmission and Ashok Leyland have collaborated to introduce the first low-floor city buses equipped with fully automatic transmissions in India's southern state of Tamil Nadu. These new Ashok Leyland stepless-entry 12-meter diesel buses will feature Allison Torqmatic® Series transmissions.
The low-floor buses are specifically designed to accommodate passengers with disabilities and will replace existing manual transmission buses. They are slated to operate routes in major cities including Chennai, Madurai, and Coimbatore.
This new order solidifies Allison's position as the market share leader of fully automatic transmissions in the Indian low-floor city bus market. The Allison T 280 transmissions will be delivered from Allison's manufacturing facility located in Tamil Nadu near Chennai.
