All Three Indian Government-Funded OEMs Choose Allison Transmission for India's FICV Program
Allison Transmission has been chosen to supply its 3040 MX cross-drive transmission for all three Government-funded OEMs participating in India's Future Infantry Combat Vehicle (FICV) program. The program aims to replace the Indian Army's aging BMP-II Infantry Fighting Vehicles with modern, domestically manufactured combat vehicles.
With India planning to procure approximately 1,750 FICVs, the potential revenue opportunity for Allison could reach several hundred million dollars over the next two decades. The company's Chennai manufacturing facility, established 15 years ago, is set to double its footprint as announced in 2024, aligning with India's 'Make in India' initiative.
The 3040 MX transmission, built on the X300 transmission's foundation, features advanced electronic system controls for improved shifting, torque management, and obsolescence management. It is currently used in the U.S. Army's M10 Booker tank.
Allison Transmission è stata scelta per fornire la sua trasmissione 3040 MX cross-drive a tutti e tre i produttori OEM finanziati dal Governo che partecipano al programma Future Infantry Combat Vehicle (FICV) dell'India. Il programma ha l'obiettivo di sostituire i vecchi veicoli da combattimento di fanteria BMP-II dell'esercito indiano con veicoli da combattimento moderni e prodotti localmente.
Con l'India che prevede di acquistare circa 1.750 FICV, l'opportunità di fatturato per Allison potrebbe raggiungere diverse centinaia di milioni di dollari nei prossimi due decenni. Lo stabilimento produttivo dell'azienda a Chennai, fondato 15 anni fa, è destinato a raddoppiare la sua capacità come annunciato nel 2024, in linea con l'iniziativa 'Make in India'.
La trasmissione 3040 MX, basata sulla trasmissione X300, dispone di avanzati sistemi elettronici di controllo per migliorare il cambio, la gestione della coppia e l'aggiornamento tecnologico. Attualmente è impiegata nel carro armato M10 Booker dell'esercito statunitense.

Insights
Allison Transmission secures exclusive role in major Indian Army program, opening lucrative, long-term revenue and strategic growth opportunities.
Allison Transmission has achieved a rare trifecta by being selected as the exclusive transmission supplier by all three government-backed OEMs for India's Future Infantry Combat Vehicle (FICV) program. This program seeks to modernize the Indian Army, with an estimated procurement of around 1,750 vehicles. The article quantifies the revenue opportunity as several hundred million dollars over two decades. The fact that all competing Indian OEMs independently chose Allison speaks to the product's technical leadership and entrenched defense reputation, giving the company both an immediate credibility boost and a probable recurring revenue stream. This selection fortifies Allison's presence in a strategically important market, further reinforced by its longstanding Chennai manufacturing footprint and expansion plans aligned with India's "Make in India" policy. The visibility of the 3040 MX transmission, used in other leading Western military vehicles, could enhance Allison's global defense brand, potentially opening doors to further contracts. From a risk perspective, while prototype success does not guarantee full production, being embedded across all contenders substantially de-risks Allison's exposure to the outcome, creating an unusually strong position in the competitive defense procurement landscape. This win is significant both financially and strategically.
Allison has worked with each of the OEMs to integrate and optimize the 3040 MX for their FICV prototype vehicles. With
"Being selected by all three of the Government-funded OEMs competing in the FICV program is a testament to the superior durability, reliability and performance of our 3040 MX transmission," said Dana Pittard, Vice President for Defense Programs at Allison Transmission. "This selection not only aligns with the strategic goals of the Indian defense sector but also underscores our commitment to supporting low volume/prototype programs with high reliability, superior engineering and technical support, and powerful performance."

The 3040 MX transmission, renowned for its reliability and electronic system controls, significantly enhances the performance and functionality of the FICV prototype vehicles. It was built on the proven quality and durability of the X300 transmission, which has been integral to the European CV90 and Warrior IFV drivetrain solutions for over 30 years. The 3040 MX is now equipped with advanced electronic system controls enabling performance optimization and additional functionality in the areas of improved shifting, improved torque management and obsolescence management as new generations of controls become available. Today, the 3040 MX is also found in the
