Allison transmission-equipped
BEML rear dump truck launched
BEML Ltd., the premier earth-
moving equipment manufacturing
company under the Ministry of De-
fence, showcased its latest 100-ton
rear dump truck with an Allison
H8610A transmission at the 4
th
In-
ternational Mining, Exploration,
Mineral Processing Technology &
Machinery Exhibition held in Kolk-
ata during January 28-31.
BH100 is the largest rear dump
truck produced by BEML. This new
Allison automatic equipped vehicle
is designed to deliver outstanding
productivity, reliability and durabil-
ity, along with an increased level of
manoeuvrability, comfort and safety.
Allison’s fully automatic power
shifting transmissions combine
all the benefits of proven, hydrau-
lic torque converter technology
with advanced closed-loop adap-
tive controls. A special feature of
H8610A is the dual torque path
which provides high torque for
greater tractive effort at launch.
Advanced CEC2 controls link the
engine, transmission, and vehicle
systems for optimum perform-
ance and vocational value.
Optimization of the entire
driveline system results in con-
sistent shift quality, increased
power train durability, and
more efficient vehicle operation
leading to greater fuel efficiency.
Mr. Ram Amarnath, Managing
Director of Allison Transmission
India, who was in Kolkata visiting
the BEML display of equipment at
the exhibition, stated: “We are very

of our H8610A transmission.”
With over 60 years of experience
in mining and construction appli-
cations, Allison is renowned in the
very heavy duty rigid dump sector
for its quality, reliability and dura-
bility. Presently, there are thousands
of Allison-engineered fully auto-
