Allison Automatic Transmission Giving Rio de Janeiro Garbage Truck

Allison Transmission , Man-Volkswagen, and COMLURB, a garbage collection company in Rio de Janeiro, established a successful partnership to find a more efficient and quieter solution for garbage collection services in Rio de Janeiro.

The garbage collection company COMLURB is responsible for providing garbage collection services in Rio de Janeiro, one of the most famous cities in South America. In its technical tender, COMLURB published a standard requiring all new trucks to be equipped with an automatic transmission . The company made this decision to meet a series of requirements, including increasing productivity, reducing maintenance costs, and reducing operating noise (local residents are very happy with this requirement).

Allison Automatic Transmission Giving Rio de Janeiro Garbage Truck

The first MAN Volkswagen trucks equipped with Allison automatic gearboxes were delivered to two local companies - Ouro Verde and Julio Simões (Stralu). In Rio de Janeiro, Mayor Eduardo Paes personally visited the delivery process of 59 VW 17.250E worker trucks equipped with automatic transmissions. Mayor Eduardo Paes praised, "The drivers do not have to change gears."

COMLURB has obvious reasons for buying an automatic truck. When the engine is running at a lower speed, the garbage compression process will be quieter. With higher truck utilisation, drivers no longer need to perform about 4,000 clutch engagements and shifts per day, so the driver feels more comfortable during work and can drive safer because the driver can always hold the steering wheel with both hands. .

According to experts from COMLURB, one of the most important advantages of the new truck is its automatic compression system, which was just applied to garbage trucks last year. The company began using automatic transmission technology in 2009 to reduce noise. COMLURB also considers that it is necessary to reduce the driver's working pressure and provide them with a better working environment and safer operating conditions. Based on the above reasons, COMLURB decided to eliminate 59 garbage trucks at the same time and replace them with VW Workers trucks equipped with Allison automatic transmissions.

"The fact is that most of the garbage trucks in Rio de Janeiro are now equipped with Allison fully automatic gearboxes, which means that customers in the region are increasingly looking to choose the right technology based on overall value." Evaldo Oliveira, Director, Allison South America Says, “We believe that over time, garbage trucks and other commercial vehicles in Brazil and other cities throughout South America will gradually shift from manual to automatic.”

According to Rogério Gil Costa of the Volkswagen AG, “the management of the Volkswagen 17.250E for the Allison Fully Automatic Transmission reduces the maintenance costs for the garbage fleet as it protects powertrain components from excessive stress. As a result, the utilization of trucks has increased, and the gearbox has also brought many benefits such as safer operation, increased driver comfort, reduced operating noise, etc. Allison transmissions can always be shifted at the correct speed. Without power interruption, the PTO shaft operation speed is slightly higher than the engine idling speed in the process of garbage compression. With the Allison automatic transmission, the overall increase in team productivity is very significant.”

Allison Transmission, Man-Volkswagen, and COMLURB continued to collaborate on a joint advertising campaign - "The city is quieter and the world is more wonderful." This event aims to promote and celebrate Rio de Janeiro's use of the new VW truck equipped with Allison fully automatic transmission. The use of this latest vehicle technology has allowed Rio de Janeiro to go hand-in-hand with other cities in the world in improving the efficiency of garbage collection. Renato Sorriso is a household name in Rio de Janeiro and he is the icon of the famous Brazilian Carnival. He was invited to participate in this advertising campaign.
