“Allison’s partnership with SANY has reached a new milestone with this expansion into a new geographic market for our purpose-built transmission for mining applications,” said Kartik Ramanan, Executive Director, Global Off-Highway, Customer Support and Service Engineering. “We’ll draw on our joint success in the wide body truck market in China to create an ecosystem of innovation and growth in the fast-developing India market. Our goal is to create a differentiated value proposition for our customers by providing a reliable and durable transmission that optimizes driver comfort and delivers superior total cost of ownership through increased productivity and uptime.”

“Our latest collaboration with Allison demonstrates SANY’s global scale and commitment to expanding our reach to new end markets,” said Deepak Garg, Managing Director, SANY Group India and South Asia. “We’re eager to provide our innovative SKT105 WBMD truck, equipped with the proven Allison 4000 Series, to customers in India to increase productivity and improve the way they work in the challenging mining environment.”

The SKT105 truck will be used for hauling ore and overburden, the rock or soil layer that needs to be removed in order to access the ore in mining fields. The Allison 4000 Series transmission is specifically designed for the severe duty-cycles that trucks are put through in tough mining environments. Together, SANY and Allison will deliver improved vehicle performance and productivity, as compared to manual and other automatic transmissions.
