Allison Transmission’s TerraTran fully automatic transmission is available for the wide-body mining dump (WBMD) market for the first time. Allison has partnered with Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group (XCMG) to integrate the transmission into their XG110 WBMD trucks. 

The first series of 225 trucks equipped with TerraTran have been delivered and are supporting mining operations in Brazil.

"We selected TerraTran for our WBMD vehicles due to its ability to enhance vehicle productivity, maneuverability, and overall drivability," said Hu Deping, vice general manager, XCMG Heavy Vehicle. "Our relationship with Allison is built on a foundation of performance and quality, and we trust that their products will continue to deliver for our mining customers."

New Variant of the Allison 4000 Series

As an uprated variant of the proven Allison 4000 Series, TerraTran is purpose built for the global construction and mining markets. Allison designed the propulsion solution based on customer input. Customers said they needed the proven reliability and durability of the 4000 Series transmission but with increased horsepower, torque, and GVW capability while also adding fast reverse capability.

"Allison has more than 65 years of experience moving earth, minerals, and precious metals around the world," said Kartik Ramanan, executive director of global off-highway and global customer support and service engineering at Allison Transmission. "The introduction of the TerraTran to the WBMD segment marks yet another milestone in Allison's commitment to providing solutions that deliver unrivalled performance and productivity for our customers in the mining market."

Allison said it provides a comprehensive lineup of products for the mining segment, offering transmissions built for 90-ton to 136-ton vehicles.

TerraTran provides maximum power of up to 800 horsepower and can support up to 3,025 lbs./ft of torque. It also features seven forward gears and two reverse gears, as well as hardened internal components built to last longer and perform in even the harshest landscapes.
