More than 240 vehicles equipped with Allison fully automatic gearbox keep the city of Hamburg clean

Stadtreinigung Hamburg (SRH) has 35 large Mercedes-Benz Atego road sweepers fitted with Allison 3500 gearboxes to clean up nearly 9,000 streets, bridges and squares in this Hanseatic city. In addition, approximately 210 Mercedes-Atego and Econic garbage trucks equipped with Allison transmissions recover nearly 1.2 million tons of garbage every year. These vehicles include an Econic equipped with natural gas engines and two vehicles. New 2630 L Econic with Euro 6 engine.

Fuel economy is of paramount importance in the operation of SRH. This requires the company to pay great attention to driver training. Driver training lasts for about 12 years. Four driving instructors teach the driver about economical and forward-looking driving skills. Understanding the unique advantages of assembling an Allison automatic transmission vehicle is part of the training program and also allows SRH to continue to save 7% to 8% of fuel.

In addition, two Econic Euro 6 models equipped with Allison FuelSense® fuel economy strategy were delivered in March. According to Bülent Akgöl, director of Mercedes-Benz special vehicle market and product management, these new models are expected to have fuel consumption reductions of up to 4% compared to the earlier Euro 5 models.

"According to actual tests, we expect that the new Euro 6 engine with a faster, flatter high torque curve combined with Allison's latest FuelSense fuel-efficient technology strategy will provide users with more significant fuel-efficient results." Akgöl said.

Increased vehicle usage with fully automatic gearbox

Garbage trucks work one shift per day, while half of the large road sweepers require two shifts to complete a busy and busy task, which inevitably depends on efficient vehicle usage.

According to Thomas Maas, director of service for SRH, Allison gearboxes reduce maintenance requirements. He said: "Daily maintenance only requires regular replacement of fluids and filters; we operate strictly according to Daimler's recommended replacement cycle."

Moreover, the use of Allison fully automatic transmissions completely avoids costly and time-consuming clutch changes. Maas explained: "In the nearly ten years of use cycle, each garbage truck needs to replace 2 to 3 clutches. Through the statistics of 210 vehicles, in about 10 years, about 420 to 630 clutches need to be replaced. That means using Allison fully automatic gearboxes, this cost and time can be saved."

Unlike conventional dry clutches, the Allison transmission's torque converter protects the entire driveline from shock and vibration. In addition, when starting without wear, the performance and maneuverability of the vehicle on a frequently-started and stopped road and a busy city road can be significantly improved.

“The smooth, shock-free start-up of the Allison transmission has benefited the pedal – the driver on the loader. The driver is also very satisfied with the Allison fully automatic gearbox because it provides the driver with comfort Driving experience," Maas said.
