Rhea-AI Summary
Allison Transmission (NYSE: ALSN) announces the integration of its H 40 EP™ electric hybrid propulsion system into San Francisco's Muni buses, in collaboration with ElDorado National. This system is designed to reduce diesel fuel consumption by up to 25% and lower CO2 emissions. SFMTA has contracted ElDorado for 30 hybrid buses equipped with this technology, expected for delivery in Q2 2022. Allison has already deployed over 9,000 hybrid propulsion systems globally, saving significant fuel and reducing carbon emissions over 2.9 billion miles of operation.
Positive
Integration of Allison's H 40 EP™ system into Muni buses could enhance revenue from municipal contracts.
Reduction of diesel fuel consumption by up to 25% could attract more municipal clients focused on sustainability.
Allison has a proven track record with over 9,000 deployed systems, indicating strong customer trust and product reliability.
Negative
Current contract involves only 30 buses, which may limit immediate revenue impact.
Dependency on municipal contracts exposes Allison to budget constraints and operational changes of public agencies.
INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of conventional and electrified vehicle propulsion solutions and the largest global manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty fully automatic transmissions for commercial vehicles and transit buses, is pleased to announce that the Allison H 40 EPTM electric hybrid propulsion system will be integrated into the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s (SFMTA) Municipal Railway (Muni) buses in partnership with ElDorado National (ENC).
“ENC is excited to partner with SFMTA and Muni on these buses which will utilize the Allison Hybrid EP™ system which dramatically reduces both diesel fuel consumption and CO2 emissions as compared to a conventional diesel transit bus,” said Mike Ammann, Vice President of Sales, ElDorado National (California).
SFMTA has awarded a contract to ElDorado for 30 electric hybrid E-Z Rider II model heavy-duty 30-foot transit buses, which will feature the Allison H 40 EP. This system reduces fuel consumption by up to 25% versus a conventional diesel bus, facilitates quieter operation and reduces CO2 emissions, helping to protect the environment. In addition, the H 40 EP Series is equipped with regenerative braking, a system that converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy to stored electric energy when decelerating or stopping. ElDorado expects to deliver the electric hybrid buses in the second quarter of 2022.
“We are proud to support SFMTA in its efforts to modernize its Muni fleet with ENC,” said Rohan Barua, Vice President of North America Sales, Global Channel and Aftermarket at Allison Transmission. “Allison’s electric hybrid solutions for transit buses are proven to demonstrate bottom-line operating benefits for municipalities and fleets all over the world while delivering industry-leading performance, reliability and durability, for nearly two decades and over several million miles of operation.”
Allison has delivered more than 9,000 electric hybrid propulsion systems serving 230 cities in 43 states. These systems have accumulated over 2.9 billion miles, saving more than 340 million gallons of fuel, and preventing 3.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.
