Driveline expertise from Powertrain
Powertrain specialises in the supply, service and remanufacture of driveline components for commercial vehicles.
“Powertrain’s 50-plus years supporting driveline manufacturers started with the early AEC-Thorneycroft, then Eaton and ZF, and culminating with its appointment as the sole UK Allison Transmission Direct Dealer,” said the company.
“Powertrain prides itself on offering proactive customer-focused quality and service, and Allison Transmission have recently awarded Powertrain their Gold Standard for Outstanding Performance for their third consecutive year running.”
The company’s field service engineers are strategically located throughout the UK, and to ensure they remain abreast of all the latest developments, they all spend time at Allison Transmission’s training school at its European headquarters in the Netherlands.
An additional service offered by Powertrain is to carry out health checks, adaption programming and the specialised Allison Transmission Driveline Analysis, which allows identification of any potential issues, thus ensuring the longevity of customers’ transmissions.
“As Allison Transmission’s Direct Dealer for the UK, Powertrain are authorised to carry out Allison Transmission warranty diagnostics, repairs and reprogramming,” said the firm.
“In addition, all service engineers carry the necessary specialised tooling and parts needed to both diagnose faults and carry out any required repairs, ensuring a ‘first time fix’ in line with Powertrain’s ethos.”
Powertrain adds that it has been working tirelessly to improve the quality of aftermarket service provided to operators of Allison transmissions.
“Located at Powertrain’s National Service Centre is the company’s remanufacturing Centre of Excellence.
“One of the most important aspects of any remanufacturing process, is the final functional testing. The company’s policy has always been one of continual investment in both staff and equipment; as a result, no expense has been spared on the computer-controlled test facilities which ensure that every remanufactured driveline product passes through Powertrain’s rigorous functional testing procedure, obtaining certification prior to dispatch.”
Volvo i-shift hybrid technology incorporates a transmission with an extended input shaft so as to accommodate an electrical motor between transmission and engine. Powertrain has recently expanded its workshops, investing in a new facility that accommodates the rebuild and testing of the popular Volvo i-shift hybrid transmissions that are regularly in fleets of Volvo bus spec applications across the country.
“Powertrain has over 50 years’ experience in remanufacturing and is recognised as a Centre of Excellence in the field of remanufacturing transmissions, axles, differentials and steering products.
“With industry leading remanufacturing technology and genuine parts, Powertrain’s customers can rest assured that they will be getting a product built and tested to the exact same standards as brand new factory products.”
Powertrain’s National Service Centre, located in Willenhall in the West Midlands, stocks thousands of genuine Allison parts, lubricants and over 300 genuine Allison Re-Tran exchange transmissions.
