USA – Allision Transmission Inc of Indianapolis, Indiana is to build additional facilities in Indiana as part of investment and growth strategy plans involving more than USD400m expenditure over the next few years. As part of this announcement, the company said it had started building a Vehicle Environmental Test (VET) facility, alongside the construction of an Innovation Centre at its Indianapolis site.
The VET is expected to be operational by 2020 and is to comprise two environmental chambers capable of simulating temperature extremes, altitude and on-road conditions. This will enable testing for regulatory compliance, on-board diagnostic development and performance improvements for vehicle optimisation. Allison expects the facility to provide over 300 new jobs.
