Allison Transmission Staying Ahead in China's Petroleum Industry for 30 Years
(chinatrucks.com, March 31,2010) Allison Transmission, product of a nearly century old brand in the United States, has been gradually recognized by the public from riding on buses equipped with its automatic transmissions in China. But it is not well known that Allison Transmission has actually been in service for 30 years in China’s petroleum industry, where it has faced a rigorous working environment and harsh operating conditions.
For 30 years, Allison Transmission has earned an enviable position in the petroleum industry in China, which has attracted less attention from public. Especially in the oil field and natural gas exploration areas, Allison has retained its absolute lead in market share ever since its entry into China.
“Actually, the concept of 30 years is not exactly accurate,” said Mr Stephen Lowe, Managing Director of Allison Transmission in China, Japan and Korea. “We are almost unable to trace when Allison became attached to the Chinese petroleum industry, because it happened in the last generation. What can be concluded is that, when the new China started exploring its oil fields, it imported a large batch of equipment from abroad. The transmissions of the equipment, for instance, for oil drilling, well intervention, well cementing, and well fracturing, were almost all made by Allison. However, with renewal and renovation of the equipment, the evidence cannot be investigated.”
There is more than one automatic transmission manufacturer. So why has Allison commanded public respect and support in this special oil field industry? Answers from customers are almost unanimous: reliability and durability!
During the processes of oil well drilling and cementing, the equipment used must be relied upon to perform non-stop in service for several days or an even longer time. Otherwise, the cement used to fix the well will solidify at the bottom of the well. Accidents caused by this are costly, signifying that the well must be scrapped. Because transmissions are the core part of oil field equipment directly related to power output, to ensure absolute success in oilfield exploration Furthermore, uninterrupted operation allows a very limited time for maintenance and repair. It demands a higher level of reliability and durability in the transmissions operation.
The long hours, continuous duty, heavy loads and corrosive environment of the oil and gas patch can eat away at powertrain endurance. Allison transmission is offering with corrosion-resistant components and housings. The corrosion protection consists of anodising the cast aluminium housings inside and out to ensure no exterior surfaces remain unprotected. This is especially important in offshore installations.
Proved practically, Allison transmissions adapt well to the harsh and unforgiving oil exploration environment, demonstrating durability and reliability, which is praised by customers. China Petro-Chemical Group Jianghan Petroleum No. 4 Manufacturing Plant has been using Allison transmissions for years. They have not experienced any accidents caused by transmission failure. .
Not only in China, but also in the USA, Russia, the Middle East and many parts of the world, in every field from oil and gas to open mine exploration, Allison is always in operation wherever and whenever working conditions are severe while demanding for high equipment performance..
Allison’s enormous success is due to not only its solid “internal work” but also its reassuring technology, sales and marketing process management. Every transmission is tailored as per customers requested through SCAAN (System of Computerized Application and Analysis). The sales can only be implemented after Allison Application engineering’s review and approval of the SCAAN. Every transmission will have an Assembly Number and unique Serial Number. This not only assures the best performance of the equipment, but also supports timely efficient after-sales service.
Allison has established a broad global after-sales network, through which it offers regular training and support to OEMs through local distributors and dealers. Such a complementary network between Allison, distributor and OEMs delivers seamless service to nearly every oil field in the world.
Choosing Allison is setting your heart to rest, a shared view from Allison’s customers.
