Your trucks and drivers work
hard in tough conditions, day
in, day out. Their performance
and productivity rise to a
whole new level when you spec
Allison Rugged Duty Series
fully automatic transmissions.
Working harder and smarter
fully automatic transmissions fit operating requirements
better than other transmissions because they’ve been
engineered specifically for the way you work. They utilize
Allison’s patented Continuous Power Technology™ to deliver
smooth, seamless, full-power shifts, superior acceleration and
startability. And Allison Automatics use engine power more
efficiently, which equates to less fuel consumed.
On pavement, full-power shifts mean
shorter trip times. In traffic, there’s no
relentless shifting, as with manuals. No
unpredictable and delayed shifting, as
with automated manuals. And neither
can compare to Allison’s vehicle control
on a grade.

Allison Transmission has built a reputation on our
ability to build transmissions that last. That is why
Allison Automatics are the preferred choice for
on-/off-highway, rugged duty applications.
4700 RDS
Off-road, Allison Automatics provide
smooth, effortless shifting and precise
traction control. While manuals and
automated manuals cause the drive
wheels to hop and do damage to the
drivetrain, Allison Automatics achieve
just the right amount of traction for load
and ground conditions — dirt, mud, sand
or gravel. They can take whatever you
throw at them and still deliver.
Comprehensive coverage
automatic transmission models offer comprehensive
coverage with 100% parts and labor. Coverage may
vary by model and by application. Contact your
Allison representative for details.

ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
To get the most out of every drop of fuel, Allison 5th Generation Electronic Controls offer an enhanced
array of smart controls designed to increase fuel economy and fuel efficiency for the specific needs of
any rugged duty application. These include Load-Based Shift Scheduling, Reduced Engine Load at Stop,
Shift Energy Management, Vehicle Acceleration Control and the new Enhanced Converter Load Release.
Allison 5th Generation Electronic Controls provide unprecedented flexibility when it comes to specifying
Calibrated to the vehicle’s particular operating requirements, Allison’s advanced
prognostics monitor various operating parameters to determine and alert when service
is due. This eliminates unnecessary oil and filter changes and provides maximum

transmission protection.
Oil Life
Monitor
Based on the vehicle’s duty cycle,
this feature determines fluid life
and alerts you when a fluid change
is required. Not only does it help
you get maximum oil life while
providing the maximum protection
for the transmission, the Oil Life
Monitor also saves you money by
preventing unnecessary
fluid changes.
Filter Life
Monitor
This provides an alert when
the transmission’s fluid
filter(s) need to be replaced.
It helps extend filter change
intervals to reduce routine
maintenance downtime and
saves you money in the long
run, all the while providing
maximum protection for
the transmission.
Transmission Health
This prognostic feature determines
the condition of the transmission’s
clutches and alerts you when clutch
maintenance is required. It helps
avoid costly repairs and downtime
by taking the guesswork out of
scheduling routine transmission
maintenance. And, it ensures your
transmission is operating at its
maximum performance level.
Additional electronic control packages are available. See your local Allison representative for the ones that fit your particular application.

Fuel-efficient
productivity >
When it comes to fuel
consumption, distance
and time are part of the
equation when calculating a vehicle’s
fuel efficiency. With Continuous Power Technology
Allison Automatic-equipped vehicles not only accelerate
faster, they get up to and work within the best dutycycle speeds faster and more efficiently. That saves time
on routes, which leads to greater productivity.
™
,
Shifting performance > Not even the
most expert driver can shift at the precise shift points
to optimize vehicle performance under all road and
load conditions. An Allison Automatic automatically
makes the right shift at the right time to maximize
vehicle performance and protect the driveline.
On a vehicle
with a manual
or automated
manual
transmission,
there are seven
to eight shifts
per mile in an
average cycle. The power interrupts that occur during
these shift changes result in lower average wheel
horsepower and a loss of 14-16 seconds every mile.
There are no power interrupts with Allison
Automatics, just smooth, seamless full-power shifts.
By making full use of the engine’s horsepower, an
Allison Automatic may allow you to specify a smaller
engine, saving you money in the long run. Plus, faster
trips add up to more deliveries per day, which means
increased incremental revenue from your vehicle.
2nd Reverse*
in addition to the standard reverse to provide greater
control and engine braking during operation on steep
grades. 2nd Reverse will also enable more maneuverability
when operating in confined spaces. When a vehicle is in
2nd Reverse, it will have a slow creep capability with high
engine speeds. With a mechanical ratio of -17.12:1, it will
have an effective torque converter multiplied ratio up to
32.5:1. 2nd Reverse provides overall better performance and
enhanced applicability for a variety of applications.
*Available on 4700 and 4800 RDS models.
This offers a second “deep reverse”
>
Startability
to launch and pull a load. Simply put, it’s the ‘grunt’
or ‘get-up-and-go’ of a truck. Often only the 1st gear
ratio is used to judge a vehicle’s startability. The truth
is, one has to consider the engine torque at the required
launch rpm and torque multiplication of the Allison
torque converter. Manual and automated manual
transmissions have to launch at very
low engine rpm in order to prevent
damage to the clutch. This means
less torque, which is why they have
very deep 1st gear ratios to help them
overcome their clutch limitations. An
Allison Automatic uses the full torque
from the engine and multiplies it with
the torque converter. Then, when
the 1st gear ratio and rear axle ratio
are factored in, the Allison provides
greater startability.
Startability is a vehicle’s capability

Economy and performance modes >
Only Allison Transmission offers you a choice of operating
modes to best suit your driving conditions and business
needs. Allison Automatics offer primary and secondary
shift schedules to enhance fuel savings or add more
power. In “economy” mode, the transmission shifts at
lower engine speed to provide added
fuel savings during operation. In
“performance” mode, the transmission
upshifts at higher engine speed for
quicker acceleration.
Life cycle value > When you
factor in all life cycle costs — vehicle
purchase price, insurance, fuel, tires,
preventive maintenance, component repair, driver wages,
taxes, license, permits and retail resale value — along
with the increased productivity, an Allison Automaticequipped vehicle costs less per yard mile
comparable competitively-equipped vehicle.

a concern for drivers of vehicles
equipped with manuals and automated
manuals because it can cause accidents
and product/load damage. Since
there is very little rollback on vehicles
equipped with Allison Automatics,
drivers don’t have that concern.

Routine oil and filter changes are the
only regular preventive maintenance
required with an Allison Automatic.

Spec for the job
While most vehicles are purchased
for specific vocational use, they
are not always spec’d to fit their
particular operating conditions.
For example, many on-/offhighway trucks are spec’d for duty
on grades — yet fleet studies have
shown that they spend a majority
of their time getting to and from
the job sites — on grades less
than 2%. The result is often too
much horsepower purchased for
the operating ranges that trucks
are in 90% of the time. Not only
will Allison Automatics increase
vehicle productivity, with their
extended torque ranges and higher GVW capacities, they allow
you to spec a wider array of engine options.
