Allison Transmission will present its fully automatic transmission and drivetrain technologies for fire and rescue vehicles at Interschutz 2026.
The company will exhibit in Hall 27, Booth H15, and will highlight operational performance, efficiency, reliability, emission reduction and alternative powertrain integration.
4000 Series transmissions highlighted for emergency vehicles
Among the systems on display will be Allison’s 4000 Series transmissions, designed for engine outputs up to approximately 597 kW.
Widely used in the global firefighting sector, the transmissions are suited to rescue fire trucks, heavy rescue vehicles and specialist emergency applications.
The systems provide torque multiplication during start up and uninterrupted full load shifting, supporting acceleration, traction and vehicle control in demanding terrain and operational environments.
The transmissions also feature integrated hydraulic retarders to support vehicle deceleration and reduce brake wear, while enabling precise manoeuvring at low speeds.
Allison said its Continuous Power Technology ensures uninterrupted power transfer and can improve acceleration times by up to 35% compared with other transmission technologies.
Support for specialist firefighting operations
Additional operational features include integrated power take offs and Pump and Roll functionality, allowing fire pumps to operate while vehicles remain in motion.
This capability is particularly relevant for wildfire and airfield firefighting operations.
Allison works with vehicle manufacturers including Daimler, MAN, Iveco, Scania, DAF, Volvo and Tatra.
Its 1000 and 2000 Series are used in lighter emergency vehicles, while the 3000, 4000 and 6000 Series support medium, heavy and airport fire vehicles with outputs reaching 727 kW.
