Allison will exhibit at the trade fair in Västervik on May 24 and 25.

VÄSTERVIK, Sweden, May 2023 – Allison Transmission is proud to take part in this year's Fire & Rescue fair to underscore the importance of having the right propulsion solution in crisis situations, where every second counts.

"For rescue personnel, failure is not an option," said Mats Hallgren, Area Sales Manager at Allison Transmission Nordics. "Rescue vehicles like fire trucks and ambulances must quickly arrive at life-and-death situations. At Allison, we understand the challenges that rescue personnel face and the type of performance that the profession demands. Our transmissions are built to deliver superior acceleration for faster response times and better maneuverability."

Allison fully automatic transmissions are designed with a focus on high durability and require minimal maintenance, ensuring they perform at their best even in the toughest situations. Thanks to Continuous Power Technology™, Allison fully automatic transmissions can provide up to 35% faster acceleration and better maneuverability than other transmission technologies. This technology is vital in situations where lives are at stake and equipping rescue vehicles with components that strengthen reliability is of utmost importance.

"We look forward to engaging in exciting discussions and showcasing what we can offer at Fire & Rescue 2023," said Hallgren. "As one of Sweden's largest fairs in the industry, Fire & Rescue attracts people across the country from the rescue services, military, manufacturers and decision-makers. We are confident that our fully automatic transmissions will deliver superior performance in critical situations and provide the reliability that rescue personnel need."
