Shanghai, December 2, 2025- Dozens of Northern TR100 mining trucks equipped with Allison Off Highway Series (ORS) transmissions are shuttling day and night through terraced open-pit mines in the mines of Saibei Coal City. We were driving this batch of cars at that time, let alone being flashy, "said Zhao, the squad leader of the mining site, with a proud look on his face." It's been more than 20 years now, and now there are TR100s equipped with Allison in the mine. The latest ones have been in use for more than ten years. These cars are really durable and durable, and they are still our main force in production! ”

Since Allison and Northern Group entered this mining area in 2006, they have served numerous mining trucks equipped with Allison 5620 and 8610 Off Highway Series (ORS) transmissions. Among them, the Northern classic best-selling model TR100 and the Allison ORS series gearbox are considered golden partners. After being equipped with this series of transmissions, the TR100 can fully utilize its strong driving force, excellent climbing performance, and environmental adaptability. With high reliability, durability, high attendance, and low failure, it has become the resounding "ace army" in the mouths of miners.

Taking the Allison 8610 ORS gearbox as an example, it can drive a mining car weighing a total of 160 tons and achieve a maximum power of 783 kW and a maximum torque of 4881 N · m. Its patented hydraulic torque converter can smoothly amplify the engine's torque, allowing the vehicle to climb hills as if walking on flat ground, and can be flexibly controlled whether on high altitudes or in cold winter in northern China, while reducing clutch wear. In addition, the minimalist logic of regular replacement of filter elements and oil to complete maintenance, combined with the scheduled hazard investigation of pre diagnostic function, can reduce the failure rate of the transmission from the root, thereby reducing maintenance downtime and lowering the total cost of ownership.

Manager Tao, the person in charge of the mine, frankly stated, "Excellent quality assurance and after-sales service capabilities are the key to our trust in Allison transmissions and Northern. Looking forward to the future, we can walk through the second, third, and even more 20 years together. Recently, we will also introduce a new batch of TR100 mining cars. ”At the mines in this northern coal city, Allison, in collaboration with Northern Corporation, provides customers with full lifecycle service support, refining deployment for maintenance plans, spare parts supply, and other aspects to ensure service quality and progress.

The team leader Chen from the mining site mentioned these big guys with a tone full of recognition: "We can guarantee attendance every day, with a high attendance rate and a low failure rate. I remember when the first batch of vehicles arrived at the mine, the vehicle service training personnel came to train us. The manufacturer's technical personnel were particularly professional, and the knowledge they gave was easy to understand and practical, which brought us great help in our work
