Go Plant Orders 15 DAF LF Trucks with Allison 3000 Series Gearboxes
Go Plant Ltd. is one of the UK's leading suppliers of special vehicle operating leases and self-drive rental services. It recently installed the Allison 3000 Series automatic transmissions on its new 15 road sweepers.
"All of our newer vehicles use Allison transmissions because it lowers the cost of the product throughout its life cycle and improves the vehicle's powertrain - there is no doubt that the powertrain is susceptible to wear during road cleaning." Aiden Garvey, regional manager of Go Plant, said.
It is understood that this updated vehicle is manufactured by the historic body builder Johnston Sweepers and uses a DAF LF220 chassis that meets Euro 6 emission standards supplied by the DAF dealer Greenhous.
After experiencing the AMT gearbox, Go Plant chose Allison fully automatic gearboxes to reduce powertrain maintenance costs. In the first quarter of 2015 alone, Go Plant ordered 48 new cars, and that order was only part of Go Plant's major investment.
“With more and more high-standard and high-profile vehicles put into use, we can provide tailor-made and flexible solutions for customers regardless of short-term lease contracts or operating lease contracts. We are very proud of this.” Garvey Says, "Therefore, we must make sure that the vehicle runs on the road as required."
Go Plant’s fleet of more than 300 road sweepers operates in the UK and is responsible for cleaning construction sites, road works, factories, and private and public transport terminals. These vehicles often work day and night in the harsh conditions of frequent stop-starts. When the roads are cleared, they travel at an average speed of 3 mph. Even at very low speeds, the Allison Torque Converter provides smooth shifting, and the driver only needs to be ready for braking when necessary, which simplifies operation.
“Regardless of who is driving and how different driving styles are, our vehicles must be sturdy and reliable,” Garvey said. “We found that the Allison transmission made the operation very simple and we were looking forward to the satisfactory performance of the new car.”
