Allison Transmission

What do military tanks, hybrid busses, and semi-tractors have in common? Allison transmissions. Allison Transmission, located in Indianapolis, literally makes stuff move. They’re the world’s largest manufacturer of fully-automatic transmissions for large vehicles, which means they’re the go-to company when you need to power something big. But don’t expect their manufacturing facility to resemble a grimy garage. These transmissions may go under the hood, but the production, quality, and advanced manufacturing technicians who make them use some of the most sophisticated, computer-driven technology out there. This means that when it’s time to put the pedal to the metal at the facility’s very own test track, they’re sure Allison products are up to the challenge.
