The Allison TC10™ Transmission puts improved fuel economy at
your fingertips. You can get up to 5% better fuel economy with
Allison’s proprietary enhancements.
· The TC10 has the ability to down speed the engine and still maintain performance.
· Lock up in first range maximizes fuel efficiency.
· Close ratio steps in the higher ranges allows for precision engine speed control, maximizing your time in the sweet spot.
· FuelSense features are customized specifically for tractor duty cycles.
Now is the time to experience real savings and real performance. Now is the time for the TC10.

Allison TC10™ Delivers
5% Better Fuel Economy

Featuring FuelSense® – EcoCal,
Dynamic Shift Sensing, Neutral at Stop
and Acceleration Rate Management.
Real-world test fleet users have documented an average 5% fuel
economy improvement with Allison TC10 equipped tractors
over their current manual or automated manual equipped
tractors. Thanks to FuelSense, the TC10 automatically achieves
the best fuel economy, regardless of driver experience or
expertise. It shifts at just the right points on
		
the power curve – with virtually no loss
of acceleration – right into cruise gear.

Class 8 tractors have
historically been forced
to compromise overall
vehicle drivability,
along with transmission
reliability, dependability and
performance, in favor of fuel
economy. Not any longer.
“WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL
TESTS/DEMOS IN THE PAST,
BUT WE HAVE NEVER HAD ONE
SO WIDELY ACCEPTED BY THE
DRIVERS AS THE TC10™.”
Neil Peterson, operation manager
Deseret Transportation | Salt Lake City, UT

Shifting Efficiency

Allison’s Continuous
Power Technology™ yields
uninterrupted power shifts,
maintaining power flow to the
drive wheels and eliminating
the power loss associated with
manual and automated manual
transmissions. In addition,
close ratio steps in the upper
ranges and a wider range
of axle choices, enable full
use of modern, low-speed
engine efficiencies.

An Idea Whose Time Has Come

The all-new Allison TC10 is engineered specifically
for Class 8 tractor applications. The TC10 maximizes
drivetrain efficiency while achieving and maintaining
highway cruising speeds to save you time and
money. And, in city and suburban driving, the fully
automatic TC10 engages the torque converter only at
launch, lowering cooling requirements and protecting
the drivetrain, while providing fast and smooth
startability for stop-and-go situations.

excellence, and we give you peace of mind with a
5-year/750,000 mile warranty on every Allison TC10.

The next generation of Allison electronic controls offers
a variety of features to further improve fuel economy
and maximize transmission protection
with advanced prognostics.

5th Generation
ELECTRONIC CONTROLS

Now featuring FuelSense® — EcoCal, Dynamic Shift Sensing,
Neutral at Stop and Acceleration Management

Improved
Fuel Economy
To get the most out of every
drop of fuel, Allison 5th
Generation Electronic Controls
offer an enhanced array of
smart controls designed to
increase fuel economy and
fuel efficiency for the specific
needs of any application.

EcoCal – Provides lower shift points to get into lock up as soon as possible,
providing necessary performance without shift cycling.

Dynamic Shift Sensing – Automatically selects between lower/higher speed
based on the vehicle’s actual payload and the grade on which it is operating
to optimize fuel economy while maintaining superior performance.

Neutral at Stop – Automatically eliminates the load on the engine when the
vehicle is at a full stop to save fuel and reduce overall vehicle emissions.
Acceleration Rate Management – Mitigates aggressive driving by controlling
engine torque based on the vehicle’s grade and load.

Prognostics

Calibrated to the vehicle’s
particular operating
requirements, Allison’s
advanced prognostics
monitor various operating
parameters to determine and
alert when service is due.
This eliminates unnecessary
oil and filter changes
and provides maximum
transmission protection.

Oil Life Monitor

Based on the vehicle’s duty cycle, this
feature determines fluid life and alerts
you when a fluid change is required.
Not only does it help you get maximum
oil life while providing the maximum
protection for the transmission, the Oil
Life Monitor also saves you money by
preventing unnecessary fluid changes.

Filter Life Monitor

This provides an alert when the
transmission’s fluid filter(s) need
to be replaced. It helps extend
filter change intervals to reduce
routine maintenance downtime and
saves you money in the long run,
all the while providing maximum
protection for the transmission.

Additional electronic control packages are available. See your local Allison representative for the ones that fit your particular application.

Life Cycle Value

“I WAS VERY
PLEASED WITH THE
TC10™ TRANSMISSION.
THIS PRODUCT IS
BETTER THAN WHAT
WE OPERATE TODAY.”

When you factor in all life cycle costs —
vehicle purchase price, insurance, fuel, tires,
preventive maintenance, component repair,
driver wages, taxes, license, permits
and retail resale value — along with
the increased productivity, an Allison
Automatic-equipped vehicle costs less
per mile* to operate than a comparable
competitively-equipped vehicle.

*Results may vary depending on your operating conditions. See
your local Allison representative to find the potential productivity
gains for your particular business.

Fleet Flexibility

The TC10 not only makes it possible
to have more deliveries per day, it
also allows you to get more out of
each truck. A TC10-equipped truck
can run an urban delivery route during the day, and
then run a regional highway route at night.

TES

Routine oil and filter changes are the only
regular preventive maintenance required
with an Allison Automatic. Easily accessible
oil filters reduce labor costs and valuable
downtime. TranSynd® TES 295
transmission fluid greatly extends
oil change intervals.

The TC10 represents the best of both worlds by
combining drivability, performance and durability
benefits of Allison’s fully automatic transmissions
with the cruising fuel economy inherent in twin
countershaft architecture.

Driver Friendly

No special driver training is required with
the Allison TC10. It operates similar to an
automatic transmission in a passenger car.
That goes a long way in helping recruit and
retain drivers.

“GREAT SHIFT QUALITY, SMOOTH
SHIFTING, SHIFTS RAPIDLY WHEN
ACCELERATING FROM A STOP,
ALLOWING SMOOTHER ENTRY
INTO TRAFFIC.”
Amanda Fisher, driver

Startability

Startability is a vehicle’s capability to
launch and pull a load. Simply put,
it’s the “grunt” or “get-up-and-go” of
a truck. Often only the 1st gear ratio
is used to judge a vehicle’s startability.
The truth is, one has to consider the
engine torque at the required launch
rpm and torque multiplication of the
Allison torque converter. Manual and
automated manual transmissions have
to launch at very low engine rpm in
order to prevent damage to the clutch. This means less torque,
which is why they have very deep 1st gear ratios to help them
overcome their clutch limitations. An Allison Automatic uses
the full torque from the engine and multiplies it with the
torque converter. Then, when the 1st gear ratio and rear axle
ratio are factored in, the Allison provides greater startability.

Smooth, Robust Acceleration

Allison’s proven Continuous Power Technology provides
smooth, seamless acceleration, without the uncomfortable
and load destabilizing lurches that characterize manual
and automated manual transmissions.

“GOOD ACCELERATION,
STILL KEEPS ENGINE
RPM LOW FOR BEST FUEL
ECONOMY. HOLDS SPEED
WELL GOING UP HILLS.”
Richard Boone, driver
Hogan Leasing | St. Louis, MO
