Allison Transmission Honored with Legacy Award from The American Lung Association in Indiana

The company was honored for its commitment to wellness and investments in technology that will lead to cleaner air.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 25, 2021 – Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of vehicle propulsion solutions for commercial and defense vehicles, the largest global manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty fully automatic transmissions, and a leader in electrified propulsion systems, was presented the Legacy Award from the American Lung Association in Indiana at its annual Evening of Promise Gala, held at Victory Field in Indianapolis on Saturday. Allison was honored for its efforts to create a healthy work environment for its employees and for the company’s focus on producing innovative solutions that promote lung health.

“Allison is humbled to receive this honor from the American Lung Association in Indiana,” said Ryan Milburn, Vice President, E-Mobility Engineering at Allison Transmission. “As a responsible corporate citizen, we are dedicated to protecting human health, natural resources and the environment. We are proud to support the ALA’s vision for a world without lung disease by manufacturing solutions that improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions and overall carbon footprint, leading to cleaner, healthier air.”

Allison is a member of the Environmental Stewardship Program, designed to recognize and reward Indiana regulated entities for going above and beyond current environmental regulations. In addition, Allison is an active member and supporter of the Partners for Pollution Prevention initiative and Indiana Earth Day. The company’s employee wellness program provides resources for smoking cessation, cardiovascular programs, and other wellness screenings to support employees in living a healthy lifestyle.

“We are pleased to present Allison Transmission with the Legacy Award for its commitment to promoting lung health through its corporate wellness efforts and through innovations in both conventional and electric propulsion technologies to reduce emissions,” said Tanya Husain, Executive Director at American Lung Association. “We look forward to continuing our partnership through our mutual goal of creating a cleaner, healthier environment to support lung health.”

Allison is committed to manufacturing solutions that will have a positive impact on the environment. In just the past three years, Allison has invested approximately $250 million on innovation to advance electric hybrid and fully electric propulsion technology. Allison’s H 40/50 EP™ legacy electric hybrid propulsion system has helped our customers save 305 million gallons of fuel, and over 3.4 million metric tons of CO2. Last year, Allison took its proven H 40/50 EP electric hybrid to the next level and introduced the eGen FlexTM electric hybrid propulsion system for transit buses. The Allison eGen FlexTM provides revolutionary capabilities for reducing the carbon footprint and supporting up to 10 miles of full electric range. The eGen Flex can operate accessories such as air conditioning and electric heat at their optimal efficiency with clean and quiet electric power. It also eliminates engine emissions and noise while loading and unloading passengers, in dense pedestrian areas and in zero-emission zones and bus depots, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

In addition, Allison recently introduced the eGen PowerTM series of fully integrated electric axles. Designed to replace traditional powertrain systems, the e-axle features two high-speed electric motors and a multi-speed transmission, eliminating the need for additional drive shafts and support structures. The eGen Power 100D is among the most powerful propulsion solutions in its class, with an architecture tuned for high gradeability and high top speed without sacrificing efficiency. This reliable technology will allow customers to take a crucial next step on their journey to full electrification.

The company is committed to doing its part through donations to our local community like the American Lung Association, focus on employee wellness, and continuous innovation to reducing air emissions.
