Hino Inks Transmission Pact With Allison
MISSISSAUGA — Eric Smith, vice president, sales, has announced that Hino Motors Manufacturing and Allison Transmission Inc. have signed a multi-year, long-term agreement that will make Allison transmissions the preferred and exclusive automated transmission supplier in Class 6 and 7 trucks in North America.
By this new agreement, Smith says, Hino Motors Canada, Ltd. will be able to offer its customers enhanced transmission coverage on Allison equipped vehicles. An enhancement to the warranty coverage on the 3000 Series means that all Allison 1000, 2000 and 3000 Rugged Duty Series (RDS) transmissions will be covered by a three-year, unlimited kilometres warranty starting with 2013 model year trucks.
This agreement, he says, strengthens the already important relationship between Hino and Allison.
