Smooth, Efficient Power Delivery: Allison 3000 RDS
Paired with the engine is the Allison 3000 RDS automatic transmission, equipped with a push-button electronic shift selector and PTO provision. This industry-leading transmission brings smooth acceleration, superior fuel efficiency through Allison FuelSense®, and dependable power delivery for stop-and-go refuse applications.
