Allison Automatics' 3000 and 4000 Series transmissions have been demonstrated integrated on Gamma Technical's Komondor light-armoured vehicles at the Allison drive track in Szentgotthárd for the Hungarian Ministry of Defence.
The Komondor RDO-3121 4x4 was equipped with the Allison 3000 Series and the RDO-3932 6x6 was equipped with the Allison 4000 Series transmission.
The Komondor family of vehicles are designed for multiple roles across defence and security to disaster management.
Allison Automatics transmissions give vehicles that require on- and off-road performance uninterrupted power to the wheels for advanced acceleration, shifting and precise traction control, even in harsh or rugged conditions. They also hels the driver control the vehicle at low speeds.
Attila Zsitnyányi, CEO of Gamma Technical, said: ‘Allison transmissions perform excellently, even under extreme conditions, and they make handling of the vehicle simple. During the development of the vehicles we could also experience that, thanks to its modular structure, the Allison transmissions can be fitted well to a wide range of needs. Their programming is customisable and the integrated control functions can be utilised perfectly.’
