Initially introduced in North America in 2021, the FracTran’s
expansion into China signifies the strong demand Allison is
experiencing outside of North America, particularly in the energy
sector, and represents an incremental growth opportunity of $100
million in annual revenue for Allison’s global Off-Highway end
market.
“Fracturing pumps are mainly used for shale oil and shale gas
extraction. In China, these resources are located deep underground.
Powerful equipment is required to get fracturing pumps to the well
subsurface faster and deeper,” said Kartik Ramanan, Executive
Director, Global Off-Highway, Customer Support & Service
Engineering, Allison Transmission. “The FracTran meets the needs of
energy customers by delivering high reliability and powerful
performance under pressure leading to increased productivity.”
As the latest innovation in Allison’s Oil Field Series™ product
line, the FracTran will enhance service operator competitiveness
and productivity in an industry that values low total cost of
ownership and return on invested capital. This purpose-built
next-generation solution was developed as a result of extensive
voice of customer insights as well as an analysis of duty-cycle
information gathered from Allison’s decades of experience operating
in oil and gas fields throughout the world.
The FracTran is equipped with eight gear ranges and offers
multiple gear ratios designed to provide versatility to customers.
The FracTran launched with a rating of 3,300 horsepower and 10,000
lb.-ft. of input torque to meet current market requirements.
However, the product is capable of up to 3,500 horsepower with no
hardware modifications required. In addition, FracTran offers life
diagnostics for filter elements and transmission fluid, a
transmission-mounted control module, torsional measurement
diagnostics, and an onboard remote information system.
