The first automatic transmission can be traced back to the 1920s when Alfred Horner Munro, a Canadian steam engineer, is known to have designed the first automatic transmission. Designed in 1921, he patented the transmission in 1923. Here, the planetary transmission was hailed as a crucial development aiding in the arrival of automatic transmissions. Fast forward to 2021, the already reliable gearboxes continue to evolve with tierl suppliers like Allison Transmission playing their part with aplomb. Recently, the Allision T280 automatic transmission made it to a fleet of 100 JBM CITYLIFE low-floor AC buses in a testimony of its real world capabilities. "The highlight of the fully automatic transmission is that fleet owners can experience a greater overall economic value with reduced downtime and the ability to get more work done. We are delighted to share that all low-floor CNG buses in Delhi NCR, over 4,500 currently in operation which are from leading OEMs in India, trust Allison units," said Anshul Gupta, Commercial Director, at Allison Transmission India.
