Allison Transmission comes standard on four HINO 700 Series models with new engines, for use in a wide range of applications.
TOKYO, July 2021 – Allison Transmission Japan, the Japanese subsidiary of Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of conventional and electrified vehicle propulsion solutions and the largest global manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty fully automatic transmissions for commercial and defense vehicles, has announced that Allison 3000 Series™ and 4000 Series™ transmissions have been selected for the FS, FY and the new FH and FR models of Hino Motors’ HINO 700 Series heavy-duty trucks for the Australian market.
The HINO 700 Series was previously only available with a 13-litre engine, but a new 9-litre A09C engine has been added to the lineup, and models equipped with the A09C engine are now available with a 6-speed Allison fully automatic transmission. All models of the HINO 700 Series for Australia are Euro VI-compliant, and even with the smaller engine the torque converter amplifies the torque to deliver a smooth and powerful starting performance. Together with the adoption of Allison automatic transmissions that provide smooth gear shifting, air suspensions are also available with the HINO 700 Series FH, FS, and FR models, and are expected to be introduced to delivery vehicles that require more delicate transportation.
The Allison automatic transmission with torque converter provides excellent acceleration at start and highly efficient driving performance, enabling smooth gear shifts that transmit uninterrupted torque to the wheels vita its Continuous Power Technology™. The Allison fully automatic transmission has been extensively evaluated and applauded by drivers for its stress-reducing ease of operation. Positive feedback from Australian customers on the role the transmission in improving productivity has resulted in increased sales of Allison automatic transmissions in the country. The four Hino models equipped with Allison automatic transmissions are expected to be used in a wide range of industries and applications, including delivery trucks, garbage trucks, mixer trucks and trailers.
