Allison Transmission has joined hands with Liugong to facilitate the efficient operation of the Dananhu mining area

Facing the harsh mining environment of the Dananhu mining area in Xinjiang, Allison gearboxes, with their outstanding performance and reliability, provide an ideal power transmission solution for mining operations. In April this year, a fleet of Liugong DW130AT wide-body mining trucks equipped with Allison TerraTran™ (4970 WBD) transmissions smoothly arrived at the mining area and immediately began high-intensity transportation operations.

The Dananhu Coal Mine is located in the southwest of Hami City, Xinjiang. The climate here is harsh, with rampant sandstorms and a large temperature difference between day and night. Coupled with the complex terrain and steep slopes of the mining area, it poses a great challenge to the power transmission system of wide-body mining vehicles. Henan Jiapeng, as a core mining service enterprise in the local area, has currently received 20 newly delivered Liugong DW130AT and plans to further expand its fleet to cover heavy-duty vehicles ranging from 105 tons to 125 tons.

The technical director of Henan Jiapeng stated, "In the face of the harsh environment of the Great South Lake, the stability and reliability of the vehicles directly affect production efficiency and costs." In the past, the high failure rate and frequent maintenance of clutch plates in manual transmissions have long been a problem for us. The hydraulic torque conversion technology and pre-diagnosis function adopted by Allison TerraTran™ transmission can fundamentally solve these problems. With standardization and best practice operation, the DW130AT equipped with Allison TerraTran™ transmission is sure to become the main force in transportation and significantly reduce the total cost of ownership.

The Allison TerraTran™ transmission is specifically designed for wide-body mining trucks to perform long-term heavy-load operations in harsh environments such as steep slopes, mountains, mud and gravel. Allison's torque converter and Continuous Power Technology™ can fully unleash the maximum rated performance of different models of wide-body mining trucks. Not only can it achieve a smooth start with high torque, but it can also provide continuous and strong power output in full throttle mode. In addition, the intelligent gear shifting technology can automatically adjust the gear shifting strategy according to real-time road conditions to ensure continuous and stable power output. The constant-speed downhill function can effectively prevent speeding when going downhill. These technological advantages simplify driving operations, allowing drivers to focus more on their tasks while bringing industry-leading total cost of ownership to the fleet.

Shao Penggang, the director of after-sales service of Liugong Group, said, "The cooperation between Liugong and Allison is based on both parties' efficient response to customer demands and their shared pursuit of technological innovation." After being equipped with the Allison TerraTran™ transmission, the DW130AT can fully leverage its advantages of powerful output, high reliability and durability in any scenario.

Currently, Allison Transmission provides powerful powertrain system solutions for mining vehicle fleets across the country, enabling them to effectively cope with various complex and harsh working environments. Especially in Xinjiang region, over a thousand wide-body mining trucks have chosen to be equipped with Allison WBD series transmissions, fully demonstrating their outstanding stability and reliability. In addition, relying on the service center located in Urumqi, Xinjiang, Allison can provide rapid and efficient full life cycle support for the fleet.
