Allison to make propulsion gear for L&T to make combat vehicle for Indian army

Allison Transmission is proud to work with Larsen and Toubro L&T to provide the Allison 3040 MXTM propulsion solution for the Indian Army’s Futuristic Infantry Combat Vehicle FICV prototype. The Indian Army’s new Futuristic Infantry Combat Vehicle FICV includes Allison’s 3040 MX propulsion solution, which is also found in the U.S. Army’s newest tank, the Mobile Protected Firepower Light Tank Allison will manage engineering design, development, fabrication, testing and demonstration of the 3040 MX for the FICV prototype vehicles through 2024. The Indian Army intends to procure approximately 1,750 FICVs over the next two decades. The FICV is a fully tracked armored vehicle consisting of Infantry Fighting Vehicle Reconnaissance and Surveillance, and Command and Control variants. It is essential to the "Make in India" modernization program, designed to replace India’s fleet of aging BMP-1 and BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles. Allison’s 3040 MX was developed based on its proven X300 propulsion solution, which has been integral to the European CV90 and Warrior IFV drivetrain solutions for over 30 years. The 3040 MX is now equipped with advanced electronic system controls enabling performance optimization and additional functionality that was not previously available.
