Allison Specialty Series transmissions selected for U.S. Army vehicles

Allison Transmission announced that Allison’s 4000 Specialty Series transmissions are included in the U.S. Army’s Common Tactical Truck prototype vehicle phase. CTT, the newest tactical wheeled vehicle program, will begin replacing the U.S. Army’s aging fleet of heavy tactical wheeled vehicles. The U.S. Army has proposed replacing most variants in its heavy tactical wheeled vehicle fleet with a single platform that shares a common powertrain, chassis and cab. The Army selected four companies to each provide several different prototype vehicles to refine specifications as the program moves to vehicle testing in 2024 and initial production by 2027. "Allison Transmission is committed to leveraging advancements made in the commercial vehicle industry to provide defense customers with fuel efficient, reliable and innovative propulsion solutions," said Dana Pittard, Vice President, Defense Programs, Allison Transmission. "System and vehicle level integration expertise is a core competency and differentiator for Allison, and we are proud to deliver next generation capabilities in partnership with our defense customers to optimize vehicle performance for the men and women of our nation’s armed forces."
