The Allison-Remy long term motor supplier agreement extends through the end of 2014. Remy will continue to supply Allison with the stator housing assembly and two rotor assemblies for the EP40 and EP50 systems. Remy will continue supplying current volume levels and will increase volume with demand.
John Weber, CEO of Remy International, said: “We are proud of our relationship with Allison Transmission and are very pleased to reach this agreement extending our relationship into the future. Allison is a leader in advanced hybrid technology and we are confident that during the next five years we will together benefit from a significant increase in the demand for hybrid buses on city streets throughout the world.”
Lawrence Dewey, chairman and CEO of Allison Transmission, said: “Remy has been and continues to be the leader in electric hybrid motors. Their history of performance and reliability makes them the perfect supplier for this application. We are looking forward with Remy to a successful future in this growing market.”
Both companies are manufacturing in the US. The Remy electric motors for the Allison systems are manufactured at the Remy Product Launch Center in Anderson, Indiana. Allison Transmission manufactures their Hybrid Drive Systems in Indianapolis, Indiana.
