Transit + Coach Bus

A Legacy of Innovation in Transit

Our history in the bus market began in 1947, when we introduced the “V” transmission for the GM Coach Division. The GM buses transported millions of passengers in North America for more than 30 years. Today, transit agencies, coach and school bus fleets can rely on Allison’s conventional and electric hybrid solutions to get passengers to their destination.

Optimizing Coach Operations

Allison offers a range of solutions designed for coaches across the globe. Our fully automatic transmissions eliminate cumbersome shifting so the driver can focus on maneuvering the coach. This is critical when navigating narrow roadways and heavy traffic situations. Allison transmissions enable smooth acceleration and quiet operation to provide a comfortable ride for passengers.

Proven Electric Hybrid Solutions

Allison introduced its first electric hybrid propulsion system for transit buses more than 20 years ago. The Allison eGen Flex^® is our next-generation solution, capable of operating up to 50% of a bus’s route in engine-off mode. The system’s electric-only mode is activated through geofencing technology and eliminates engine emissions and noise in pre-defined zones.
