Allison Transmission announces a broader relationship with Caterpillar Defense. While the companies have been working together on defense applications for more than 40 years, the parties have reorganized the relationship to align more closely to strategic initiatives.
In the updated structure, Allison will focus on design, development and manufacturing of Allison Transmission® cross-drive transmission products, while Caterpillar Defense will continue to focus on design, development and manufacturing of Cat® & Perkins® engines for defense applications. This collaboration will allow Allison and Caterpillar Defense to bring to market deeply integrated and optimized solutions for the demanding defense markets.
“This expanded relationship is beneficial for both Allison and Caterpillar Defense, as it allows our respective businesses to focus on our core strengths,” said Dana Pittard, Allison Transmission VP Defense Programs. “But even more advantageous will be how this will accelerate our ability to work together to design powertrain solutions that our mutual customers want.”
In addition, Caterpillar Defense obtained the rights to become a preferred provider of remanufacturing services for Allison’s X200, X300 and 3040MX products outside of North America and the exclusive provider of remanufacturing services for Allison’s X200, X300 and 3040MX products in the U.K.
