By Will Hall - 22nd November 2021

USA / The Netherlands – Indianapolis-based Allison Transmission Inc has announced a three-year partnership with multiple Dakar Rally winning Team de Rooy to develop electric trucks for motorsport competitions.

Testing is scheduled to begin on an electric truck equipped with a conventional Allison transmission in early 2022, ahead of the vehicle’s competition debut at the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia in January 2023. Team de Rooy’s new Iveco electric truck will use Allison’s 4000 series fully automatic transmission with retarder. This is suitable for all medium and heavy-duty commercial engines, including electric motors. The 4000 series is already integrated with an electric motor in the Hyundai XCIENT hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty truck.
