Allison Transmission is teaming up with MAN and Mercedes-Benz to demonstrate its products at Interschutz 2015, the exhibition for the fire protection and rescue sector, taking place in Hannover, Germany from June 8th thru the 13th..

Allison's 3000 Series and 4000 Series automatic transmissions will soon be available in MAN TGM and TGS trucks.

Visitors to Allison's stand can see a MAN TGS 18.400 4x4 chassis, produced to operate in the Austrian Alps. Its 400 horsepower engine is coupled with an Allison 4000 Series automatic transmission.

Also at the Allison stand will be a Mercedes-Benz Econic 1830L 4x2 vocational chassis equipped with a HLF 20/16 firetruck body and Allison 3000 Series automatic transmission.

The vehicle, currently operating in the City of Hannover, has a small turning radius of 13.5m thanks to its rear steering axle, compared with the standard vehicle radius of 16.5mm, allowing the Econic HLF to easily negotiate narrow roads or alleyways.

Allison's patented torque converter enables precise low-speed maneuvering. In addition, Allison offers a top-mount, engine-driven power take-off (PTO) provision, for easy integration of emergency equipment.
