Insights

This expansion in global defense contracts represents a significant strategic win for Allison Transmission. The company has secured multiple high-value contracts with major defense forces including the UK, Canada, Germany and Poland, substantially diversifying its revenue streams beyond North America. The Logistics Vehicle Modernization project with Canada and the Boxer armored vehicle program with the UK are particularly noteworthy as they represent long-term, high-volume commitments.

The timing of these contracts (2025-2035) provides strong revenue visibility and strengthens Allison's position in the global defense market. The company's ability to leverage its commercial vehicle expertise into defense applications demonstrates effective market penetration strategy. The diversity of vehicle platforms - from light reconnaissance carriers to heavy logistics vehicles - indicates broad market acceptance of Allison's transmission technology.

The defense sector contracts represent a strategic market expansion that reduces Allison's dependence on the North American market while building recurring revenue streams. The multi-year nature of these contracts provides stable, predictable cash flows - particularly valuable in the current economic climate. The 700+ Boxer vehicles already delivered to various countries demonstrate strong market acceptance and potential for follow-on orders.

The geographic diversification across Europe and Asia-Pacific regions positions Allison well for future growth opportunities. These contracts typically include long-term maintenance and spare parts agreements, creating valuable aftermarket revenue streams. The company's success in securing contracts with multiple NATO members also suggests potential for additional military modernization programs.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Allison Transmission has made significant strides in the global Defense market, achieving key program wins that will significantly expand Allison's installed base and revenue in the wheeled defense vehicle segment. Allison is experiencing continued growth in this vehicle segment as a result of strategic partnerships with vehicle manufacturers to support defense programs outside North America.

The Allison Specialty Series™ (SP) transmission has been selected for several wheeled defense vehicles. The Canadian Department of National Defence recently announced it will receive Mercedes-Benz Zetros four-axle 8x8 vehicles with the Allison 4500 SP automatic transmission in partnership with GDLS-Canada as part of the Logistics Vehicle Modernization (LVM) project. Production is slated to begin in 2025.

Over the past year, ARTEC, a consortium of KNDS company Kraus-Maffei-Wegmann and Rheinmetall, chose Allison's 4800 SP transmission for the British Ministry of Defence's Boxer armored vehicle program. Initial transmissions have been delivered in the U.K. for use in the 8x8 Boxer Mechanised Infantry Vehicle, part of a larger order for new Boxer vehicles intended for the British Army.

Additionally, the German Federal Armed Forces are set to receive Boxer vehicles, with deliveries starting in 2025. Over 700 Boxer vehicles have been delivered in recent years to countries including Australia, Germany, Lithuania and the Netherlands. The U.K. Ministry of Defence has also placed an order currently in production with Supacat for Allison 2500 SP transmissions for the Jackal High Mobility Truck Variants (HMT 400s), also known as Jackal 3.

In Poland, a contract with AMZ-Kutno has been signed to supply Bóbr-3 Light Armored Reconnaissance Carriers equipped with the Allison 3000 SP transmission as part of the Kleszcz program, with deliveries spanning 2025 to 2035. Furthermore, Iveco Defence Vehicles (IDV) has renewed its contract to provide the Romanian MoD with defense logistic platforms, including a variant based on the Astra 8x8 chassis equipped with the Allison 4700 SP transmission.

"Allison has the distinct advantage of leveraging our commercial vehicle experience and relationships as we grow our wheeled defense business," said Heidi Schutte, Vice President of EMEA, APAC and South America Sales, Allison Transmission. "With decades of proven reliability and durability, we offer a wide range of propulsion solutions that meet the diverse application requirements for tactical wheeled vehicles for the defense industry."
