“Our new Chevrolet medium-duty will be the flagship of our truck portfolio for fleet and commercial customers, and we believe the strength of Duramax/Allison powertrain combination will be able to tackle various jobs – from general contracting to urban delivery to bucket loaders and wreckers,” John Schwegman, U.S. It is being jointly developed by Chevrolet and Navistar.

This feature gives the driver greater control over the transmission, enhancing operation when engine braking or less frequent shifting is desired.DETROIT - General Motors, which fields the industry’s most expansive portfolio of diesel-powered passenger cars, crossovers, pickups and vans, confirmed today that Chevrolet’s highly-anticipated, all-new Class 4/5 commercial truck will be powered by a Duramax engine and Allison transmission – a legendary combination that has powered close to two million trucks.Ĭhevrolet made the announcement today at The Work Truck Show 2017, and confirmed the truck is on track to launch in 2018.

For the 2006 model year, manual gear selection was introduced. Ī new "Generation 4" 1000 was introduced in 2005 that added a 6th gear at the very top of the ratio ladder, making it a double- overdrive. This rating has increased as the transmission was updated several times, to stand at 765 lb⋅ft (1,037 N⋅m) by 2011 in GM truck applications. Initially the Allison 1000 was a 5 speed transmission, rated to handle up to 620 lb⋅ft (840 N⋅m) of torque. With Ring 3 braked, the output will be spun in the reverse direction by sun 3. Sun 1 will drive ring 2 in the forward direction and with carrier 2 braked, sun 2 and sun 3 will spin in reverse. Ring 1 and ring 3 are braked with the input only connected to sun 1. The second overdrive is with ring 2 braked which will cause sun 2 to spin faster than in the first overdrive gear. When ring 1 is braked, sun 1 (still connected to the input) will cause ring 2 to spin in the forward direction and sun 2 and sun 3 will spin in the forward direction.

Sun 2 and 3 must be disengaged from the input in the overdrive regimes and they are free to spin. For those, ring 3 is connected to the input and additional speed is added by rotation of sun 3. Thus the last system is in direct drive and all gears in the transmission rotate together for a ratio of 1:1. For the fourth gear like for gears 1 - 3, the sun gears are all connected to the input and in addition, ring 3. A final clutch can tie carrier 2 together with ring 3 to the input. For the third gear, ring 1 is braked and ring 2 will rotate in the direction of the input, and therefore ring 3 will rotate faster than it does in gear 2.īesides the clutches that can hold each ring gear stationary, there is one clutch that can engage sun 2 and sun 3, which reside on a common shaft, to the input. For gear two, ring 2 is braked and thus ring 3 (driven by carrier 2) will add some torque in the same direction as sun 3. For first gear, ring 3 is stationary and torque transfer is from sun gear to the carrier of the last system. The first three gears behave similar, for them all three sun gears are clutched to the input shaft and either one of the three ring gears is braked. There are 3 consecutive planetary systems and the planet carrier of a stage is permanently connected to the ring gear of the following stage, except for the last system where the carrier is connected to the output shaft. Other transmission families include the 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 8000, and 9000 Series, with correspondingly larger and more capable transmissions as the number increases.
#Duramax allison transmission series
The 1000/2000 Series is the smallest transmission that Allison manufactures. All are 5 or 6-speed electronically controlled units and are manufactured by Allison Transmission in Indianapolis, Indiana as well as in Baltimore, Maryland and in Erskine, Minnesota. The 1000 series (and similar 20 series) is a line of automatic transmissions for on-road trucks.
