Allison Transmission Strives to Succeed in Customer Support
Allison Transmission not only invests much financial resources in new technologies and development of top-quality automatic transmissions for a wide range of applications, but also pays close attention to providing a sufficient post-sales support to ensure accurate operation of Allison’s automatics and to keep customers fully satisfied.

initiative has been helping Allison to receive a direct feedback from owners of
fleets (who mainly turn out to be the main Allison customers) and provide its
customers with effective maintenance tips and the info on new technologies and
product updates available on the market.
According to the representative of Veola Brazil
company, specialized in sanitation landfills and industrial waste management,
the company gives preference to trucks equipped with automatics from Allison
thanks to the fact that automatic trucks ensure more convenient driving and
better gear shifting. Moreover, automatically shifted trucks turned out to be
more cost-efficient, as they are more maintenance-friendly. According to
company’s estimations, the fleet productivity increased by 30% thanks to the
use of automatic trucks.
Veolia Brazil has at its disposal approximately
four dozens of trucks, most of them are equipped with Allison’s automatics, and
all of them should certainly be serviced by professionals. That’s where
Allison’s Mobile Training unit plays a significant role. Experts from Allison
organize some training activities, where they share some interesting insights
about maintenance and repair of Allison automatics and answer to all arising
questions. Thanks to the detailed explanation on the most challenging repair
issues it is easier to comprehend key points on preventative servicing of
automatic trucks.
