Innovation

As the commercial vehicle market begins to transition toward alternative energy solutions, Allison is expanding its product lines to include a similar family of solutions for the electric vehicle market. As with our conventional products, one solution cannot cover the breadth of commercial vehicle applications, so we are developing a family of products designed to meet the needs of the industry. Allison is ready for the challenge, as our history has prepared us well.

The Allison Team

The Allison Team is one of our most valuable assets, with approximately 3,400 highly skilled employees around the globe. Through our productive and collaborative relationship with the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) that represents approximately 46% of our U.S. employees, we have developed an employee training program that provides team members with the skills necessary to perform at a high level and to advance to roles of increasing responsibility based on merit and seniority.

Communities

Allison’s commitment to inclusion and diversity extends beyond the workplace to the communities where our employees live and work. For more than 100 years, as Allison has grown, so has our commitment to being a responsible and compassionate corporate citizen. We focus our efforts on giving back to local communities through advancing education and STEM initiatives, promoting equality of opportunities and engaging our employees as we support their commitment to making a difference.

Health + Safety

As a manufacturing company, the health and safety of our employees is of paramount importance. Allison has in place a wide variety of measures, including training and reporting mechanisms, to ensure that our employees remain as safe as possible. We are continuously improving our processes and programs to increase safety standards globally. We review our health and safety metrics regularly, including all first-aid, recordable injuries and lost workday case injuries. All shifts begin with a daily start-of-shift meeting on the manufacturing floor with a safety message. In 2021, we offered over sixty safety training modules to our employees at our Indianapolis manufacturing operations, and approximately 97% of production employees completed their required safety training.

Environment

As a responsible corporate citizen, Allison is dedicated to protecting human health, natural resources and the local and global environment. This dedication reaches further than compliance with the law to encompass the integration of robust environmental practices into our daily business operations and decisions. While our biggest environmental impact is related to the GHG emission reductions and fuel efficiency improvements our technologies make possible, we recognize that the energy we use in our operations has its own environmental impacts.

Supply Chain

We operate an extensive and complex supply chain that provides everything from bulk commodity products to highly specialized components that enable our propulsion solutions to deliver fuel-efficient performance. In addition to our own commercial and technical requirements for our suppliers, as a supplier to the United States Department of Defense (U.S. DOD), we are also obligated to apply certain regulatory requirements to suppliers that support the provision of products and services to the U.S. DOD.

Corporate Responsibility

All over the world, Allison Transmission employees strive to make a difference in the communities where they live and work. We focus our efforts on education initiatives, economic empowerment and engaging our employees as we support their commitment to making a difference.

We are dedicated to helping our communities grow and thrive. Whether we are reducing our trash waste, improving facilities for energy efficiency, reducing fuel consumption, decreasing emissions through our products or volunteering for any number of causes, we want to improve the lives of people around the world.
