The U.S. Army’s follow-on contract specified Allison automatic transmissions based on their proven performance since the introduction of the JLTV A1 in 2015.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 28, 2023 – Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of conventional and electrified vehicle propulsion solutions for tactical wheeled and tracked defense vehicles will provide the Allison 2500 Specialty Series™ (SP) transmission for AM General’s A2 version of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV).

Based on the proven performance of the more than 19,000 transmissions, the U.S. Army continued to specify the Allison 2500 SP transmission for the JLTV A2 expected to be delivered approximately 18 months after the February 9, 2023 contract award.
