“The customer has been consistently satisfied with the
performance of Allison transmissions that have been operating in
their existing Yutong buses in Rwanda since 2014,” said Zhang
Jinbing, Sales Manager, Yutong Bus Co., Ltd. “When the time came to
add new vehicles to their fleet, we selected the Allison T280R
transmission for its ability to meet the unique demands of city
buses.”
The Allison Torqmatic Series is a line of fully automatic
transmissions specifically designed for city and suburban buses and
tour coaches. With up to six forward speeds and one reverse, the
T-series enables easy and efficient operation, optimizing the
driver and rider experience.
“Our collaboration with Yutong to deliver transit buses to
Rwanda is the latest example of Allison’s continued growth in
global export markets,” said Heidi Schutte, Vice President of EMEA,
APAC and South America Sales, Allison Transmission. “As a key
industry leader, we’ve formed partnerships with Chinese
manufacturers to deliver city buses that provide customers with a
leading combination of reliability, fuel efficiency, performance
and value.”
To further bolster its global reach, Allison is expanding its
extensive service network by introducing an authorized service
location in Rwanda. This strategic move will not only facilitate
the company's expansion in Africa but also solidify its presence
within the region. With an expanding global network of
approximately 1,600 independent Allison distributors and dealers,
customers have unparalleled access to swift and reliable support,
when and where needed most. Moreover, Allison recently forged
service partnerships with key partners, including Penske in
Australia and Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ) in Europe, further
cementing its commitment to providing top-notch services
