Innovations to the proven Allison 3000 Series™ deliver the
lightest, most productive transmission in its segment
Allison Transmission’s 3414 RHS is the perfect example of how
customer and market needs drive the innovation of Allison products.
Designed in response to customer demand, the 3414 RHS is now
winning accolades from industry professionals. Heavy Duty Trucking
magazine recognized the Allison 3414 RHS by naming it a Top 20
Product Winner for 2020, recognizing the transmission for its
innovation as the lightest, most durable, and most productive new
transmission in its class.
The award “highlights the most innovative, significant and
useful product announcements from last year,” according to Heavy
Duty Trucking. Chosen by the editorial advisory board of the
publication, they also look at products with potential benefit to a
company’s bottom line. Viewed as the industry benchmark for city
delivery tractors, the 3414 RHS checked all the boxes to meet the
award’s criteria.
Based on insights gathered from OEMs and end users, there was a
need for the proven reliability, performance and maneuverability of
an Allison fully automatic 3000 Series transmission, but with
increased ratings capability. The lightest transmission in this
segment, the 3414 RHS has ratings up to 410 horsepower and 1450
lb-ft. of torque. This increased power supports a growing trend for
fleets to utilize their trucks in mixed duty cycles, often in city
delivery routes on one shift and regional haul transport routes
during a second shift. The 3414 RHS will provide fleets with 25%
faster acceleration 0-20 miles per hour, as compared to competitive
automated manual transmissions (AMTs). By leveraging Allison’s xFE
technology, which incorporates an internal gear scheme optimized
for fuel efficiency, as well as Allison’s FuelSense® 2.0 with
DynActive® shifting technology, the 3414 RHS will deliver up to 8%
fuel economy improvement.
The 3414 RHS is a drop-in solution for any chassis with a
current Allison 3000 Series option— with the same form, fit,
function and connections. The 3414 RHS will be the lightest
transmission in this segment. In fact, the 3414 RHS is 11% lighter
than the next lightest competitive transmission in the segment. The
3414 RHS includes Allison’s industry-leading warranty of five
years, 750,000 miles, including towing, with no exclusions on
individual components. With no clutches to replace, fleets will be
free of unplanned downtime due to costly clutch replacements.
“Allison is thrilled to bring this product to market, and we are
equally honored that leaders in the industry have recognized the
3414 RHS for this award,” said Branden Harbin, Managing Director of
Global Marketing at Allison Transmission. “We’re confident this
product will deliver everything our customers have been asking for:
increased ratings capability, improved drivability,
industry-leading warranty coverage, compatibility with diesel and
natural gas engines and improved fuel economy – all while
maintaining the lightest weight in the segment with the proven
performance and durability of an Allison.”
The 3414 RHS will be available in the Freightliner M2 112 and
Cascadia in the second half of 2020, with additional OEM releases
planned in 2020.
