For two decades, Allison and Northern Shares have been safeguarding the production of the mines in the northern frontier, from the reputation of the mines to service guarantees

In the mines of the northern coal city, dozens of Northern TR100 mining trucks equipped with Allison off-road series (ORS) gearboxes are shuttling day and night in the terraced open-pit mines. "Back then, we were driving this batch of vehicles. They were so cool," recalled Zhao, the team leader of the mining site, with pride on his face. "It's been over twenty years. Now, the mine has Allison TR100s, and the latest ones have been in use for more than ten years. These vehicles are really durable and durable. They are still the main force of our production!"

Since Allison and Beifang Corporation joined hands to enter this mining area in 2006, they have provided services to numerous mining trucks, which are equipped with Allison 5620 and 8610 off-road series (ORS) gearboxes. Among them, the classic best-selling model TR100 of Beifang Co., Ltd. and the Allison ORS series transmission can be regarded as a golden pair. Equipped with this series of gearboxes, the TR100 can fully demonstrate its powerful driving force, excellent climbing performance and environmental adaptability. With its hard-core capabilities of high reliability, high durability, high attendance rate and low failure rate, it has become a well-known "elite force" among miners.

Take the Allison 8610 ORS transmission as an example. When driving a mining truck with a total weight of 160 tons, it can achieve a maximum power of 783 kW and a maximum torque of 4,881 N·m. Its hydraulic torque converter can smoothly amplify the engine's torque, allowing the vehicle to climb slopes as smoothly as walking on flat ground. It can be flexibly controlled whether on the plateau or in the cold winter of the northern frontier, while reducing the wear of the clutch. In addition, the minimalist logic that only requires regular replacement of filter elements and oil to complete maintenance, combined with the pre-diagnostic function for regular hazard detection, can reduce the failure rate of the transmission from the root, thereby reducing maintenance downtime and lowering the total cost of ownership.

Manager Tao, the person in charge of the mine, frankly stated: "The outstanding quality assurance and after-sales service capabilities are the key reasons why we have always trusted Allison Transmission and Northern Shares." Looking forward to the future, we can walk through the second, third, and even more 20-year periods together. Recently, we will also introduce a batch of new TR100 mining cars. In the mine of this coal city in the northern frontier, Allison, in collaboration with Northern Shares, provides customers with full life-cycle service support. They have made detailed arrangements in aspects such as maintenance plans and the supply of spare parts to ensure the quality and progress of services.

When Chen, the team leader of the mining site, talked about these big guys, his tone was full of approval: "They can ensure an attendance rate every day. The attendance rate is very high and the failure rate is low." I still remember when the first batch of vehicles arrived at the mine, the service training personnel of the vehicles came to train us. The technicians from the manufacturer were particularly professional. The knowledge they taught was easy to understand and practical, which brought us great help in our work.

As a leading designer and manufacturer of global commercial vehicle drive solutions, Allison transmission has always been the preferred configuration for the powertrain of mining vehicles and has maintained a long-term and in-depth cooperative relationship with Beifang Corporation, enabling its mining vehicles to operate in mines around the world. In 2024, over a hundred TR100 mining trucks equipped with Allison 8610 off-road series (ORS) gearboxes from Beifang Co., Ltd. were successively delivered to customers in African countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, and Ghana. Relying on a global network of nearly 1,600 independent distributors and agents, Allison will continue to enhance its after-sales service capabilities and be committed to providing customers with higher-quality and more rapid response service support.
