Allison Transmission Pursues Connected Capabilities with Saucon Technologies

Here’s why it’s so important:  Experts agree that transmission health information can include prognostics to monitor various operating parameters, oil and filter life and diagnostic transmission information. This partnership is part of an ongoing effort to provide fleets with actionable information to support their fourth- and fifth-generation Allison transmissions that are already in service.

Saucon’s intelligent transportation management platform provides a full suite of cloud-based software, hardware and analytics tools designed for the passenger transportation industry. From GPS fleet tracking and onboard video to remote engine diagnostics, the company’s Internet of Things – enabled solutions saves clients time and money. Fleets interested in enabling these capabilities should contact their Saucon Technologies sales representative.“Teaming with Allison, a premier transmission manufacturer has been an extremely productive and rewarding collaboration. Our goal at Saucon is to be able to provide as much data from as many onboard systems as possible, in near real-time. This allows our customers to manage the overall health of their vehicles through the use of our Cloud-based Portal. Allison’s expertise, in regards to their transmissions, turns the data into actionable intelligence, which can lower maintenance costs, reduce downtime and deliver improved vehicle performance. We look forward to future innovation and growing our relationship with the Allison team,” Rich Shelley, Saucon executive vice president, sales and marketing.

Allison is committed to powering the global connected vehicle ecosystem with telematics system providers, fleet-management software providers, and original equipment manufacturers to support existing and new customers with connected capabilities. Support for additional vocations and global regions is planned.
