Allison Transmission has announced availability of its latest fuel economy technology for its 1000 Series and 2000 Series. Referred to as xFE, designating extra fuel economy, the fully automatic bus transmissions have demonstrated improvements up to 7% when compared to baseline models.
“Other than our electric hybrid products, xFE models represent the very best fuel economy technology we offer.
“The new design works to achieve enhanced fuel economy in start-stop dense, low average speed duty cycles,” says John Coll, Senior Vice President of global marketing, sales and service for Allison Transmission.
The 1000 Series and 2000 Series xFE transmissions have the same space claim and ratings as current models, but incorporate a redesigned torque converter damper coupled with the FuelSense 2.0 Max package.
The damper enables first range lock up, delivering significantly more lock up operation and operating at lower engine speeds in higher ranges to further improve fuel economy.
All xFE transmissions are compatible with alternative fuel engines.
