Throughout our long history, Allison Transmission has been a leader in innovation, creativity and continually pushing toward new advances in technology. Our heritage, starting in 1915 with James Allison, has been strong and steady throughout the decades
that we’ve been creating fully automatic transmissions.
We were there from the beginning, with the invention of the world’s first heavy-duty automatic transmission, and even now Allison is the premier designer, developer and manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty fully automatic transmissions
and hybrid propulsion systems.
Our experience and longstanding history have made Allison the brand to trust. Read below to learn more about our history and heritage.
