Allison Transmission Secures New Order for 3040 MX Cross-Drive Transmissions for Polish Military Program

Allison Transmission has secured a new order for 3040 MX cross-drive transmissions for Poland's Borsuk Infantry Fighting Vehicle program, following a Memorandum of Understanding with Grupa Zbrojeniowa in 2023. This order expands Allison's presence in Poland and solidifies its cooperation with Grupa Zbrojeniowa on tracked vehicle programs.

Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of vehicle propulsion solutions, has secured a significant order for 3040 MX cross-drive transmissions for Poland's Borsuk Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) program. This follows a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in 2023 between Allison and Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ) for the cooperation on tracked vehicle programs and the expansion of Allison's Authorized Service Network in Poland [1][2][3].

The 3040 MX transmission, developed based on Allison's proven X300 propulsion system, offers several key advancements that enhance overall performance. These include improved maneuverability with high-speed reverse and integrated steering, better acceleration, and fuel economy. Additionally, the transmission features operational improvements such as enhanced reliability and advanced electronic controls with integrated diagnostics, making it a significant step forward in military vehicle propulsion [1][2][3].

Huta Stalowa Wola (HSW), a subsidiary of PGZ, is part of the consortium that will produce upwards of 1,400 Borsuk tracked vehicles over the next 10-15 years. The Borsuk, which translates to "Badger," is an amphibious tracked vehicle designed to replace the BWP-1 vehicle as the Polish military's tracked IFV. Vehicle prototypes have been in testing and validation since 2017, leading to the 2023 agreement between the Polish Ministry of Defense and HSW [1][2][3].

This order underscores Allison's commitment to the Defense end market and solidifies its partnership with Poland. The 3040 MX transmission is expected to bring Allison's proven durability, reliability, performance, and innovation to the medium tracked vehicle segment and Poland's indigenously designed and produced Borsuk IFV [1][2][3].
