Allison supplies 10,000 automatic transmissions to Hyundai Mighty LCV

Allison Transmission has announced that more than 10,000 Allison-equipped Hyundai Mighty vehicles have been sold in the last four years since its 2020 integration.

Half of all Hyundai Mightys sold today are equipped with Allison fully automatic transmissions, up from 10% versus four years ago. The 10,000th Mighty truck with an Allison fully automatic transmission was delivered to Unchang Logitec, a leading Korean logistics company servicing South Korea’s largest laundry service provider.

"Visiting university hospitals to pick up and return laundry involves a lot of highway traffic jams and city driving," said Kim Dae-sung, Director, Unchang Logitec. "Automatic vehicles are very comfortable to drive, even when the vehicle is stuck in traffic jams with repetitive stop-and-go traffic. We are very satisfied with the Allison-equipped Mighty automatic truck because it is easy to drive, fuel efficient, productive and durable."

The Hyundai Mighty is a 2.5- and 3.5-ton light-duty truck, which has a market-leading share in South Korea. Mighty automatic trucks have been on the rise in recent years, meeting market demand for driving comfort, fuel economy, reliability, serviceability and productivity. Allison has delivered more than 10,000 units of the Allison 1000 xFE fully automatic transmissions for the Hyundai Mighty since its launch in 2020. Mighty automatic trucks are used in a variety of applications, including pickup and delivery trucks, cargo trucks, refuse vehicles, firefighting trucks and specialty vehicles.

"We are thrilled to see the tremendous success of Allison-equipped Hyundai Mighty vehicles. The rise in popularity of fully automatic transmissions in Asia is a testament to the exceptional driving experience and unmatched performance that our transmissions offer,” said Heidi Schutte, Allison Transmission Vice President EMEA, APAC & South America Sales. “Allison’s commitment to driving comfort, fuel efficiency, reliability, and productivity has resonated with customers, and we are proud to be at the forefront of this transformative shift in the industry."

The Allison 1000 xFE™ offers improved launch performance, increased productivity, smoother shifting, easier operation and enhanced driver comfort, as compared to competitive manual and automated manual transmissions (AMTs). The Allison 1000 xFE fully automatic transmission utilizes a patented torque converter, which offers superior performance and eliminates clutch replacements. This results in increased economic value due to productivity and reduced downtime versus traditional manual and AMTs.
