Allison Provides Commercial-Duty Transmissions for the New International® CV Series

With proven durability and reliability in the commercial truck segment, the Allison 1000 Series™ and 2000 Series™ are the exclusive fully automatic transmissions for the newly introduced International® CV™ Series vocational trucks.

In this series the 6-speed Allison Automatics are paired with the International 6.6L turbocharged diesel engine—one of the most rugged, trusted and thoroughly-tested commercial-grade powertrains in the industry. Additionally, the Allison-equipped International CV Series trucks are rated at up to 22,900 lbs GVWR and capable of 37,500 lbs GCWR.

  • Close-ratio 6-speeds, with double overdrive, to climb challenging terrain and maximize fuel economy
  • Ideal integration with the powerful International 6.6L diesel V8. Under a collaborative engineering effort, the Allison 1000/2000 Series™ transmissions have been optimized to take advantage of International’s robust 350 hp and 700 ft-lb of torque
  • Available on rugged-duty, motorhome and emergency vehicle transmission applications the Allison Automatics allow rescue vehicles to get up to speed faster and ease the integration of body and pumping equipment
  • Allison’s patented Continuous Power Technology™ delivers smooth, seamless, full-power shifts, as well as superior acceleration in the CV Series
