Allison Completes Installation of eGen Power™ E-Axle Production Assembly Line
December 03,2021
“The completion of the new assembly line and expansion of our e-Axle manufacturing capabilities marks a crucial step in bringing Allison’s eGen Power Series of electric axles to market,” said John Coll, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing, Sales and Service at Allison Transmission. “Through implementing this industry leading manufacturing and development infrastructure, we will ensure eGen Power e-Axles deliver the same uncompromising quality, reliability, durability and performance our customers have come to expect from our fully automatic transmission and electric hybrid propulsion solutions.”
Allison has made significant investments to develop a best-in-class infrastructure to support the development and production of the eGen Power family of electric axles. In addition to the production assembly line, Allison has also completed the installation of an e-Axle specific build verification test protocol. Each e-Axle will complete a series of tests to verify every system is functioning to specified performance levels. The test system will ensure that each eGen Power eAxle is manufactured and tested to Allison’s exacting production standards before it ships. Allison has also made significant investments in e-Axle dynamometer equipment to support fast, repeatable and reliable engineering development and design validation.
The Auburn Hills e-Axle facility is capable of building all products in the eGen Power product portfolio. This includes the eGen Power 100D for heavy duty 6x2 applications, and the eGen Power 130D, which is targeted for European and Asia Pacific applications where a 13 tonne gross axle weight rating is required. The facility will also manufacture the 100S, which addresses heavy duty 6x4 tractors and heavy duty tandem axle straight trucks, as well as medium duty truck and school bus applications.
