Shanghai Port Logistics Co., Ltd. is the largest container freight company in Shanghai. The company's terminal tractor fleet has been using Allison transmission for more than 20 years. Today, 98% of the company’s more than 1,000 automatic terminal tractors are equipped with Allison fully automatic transmissions .

The data shows that Shanghai's container throughput has ranked first in the world for five consecutive years. Shanghai Port is located at the intersection of the east-west transport channel of the Yangtze River and the north-south transport path of the sea. It is a major hub port in China's coastal areas and an important port for China to open to the outside world and participate in the international economic cycle. The superior reliability and ease of operation of Allison Transmission reduce the vehicle failure rate and the labor intensity of the driver, which has provided strong support for optimizing the overall operation of the port terminal over the years.
According to Chen Tie, deputy general manager of the engineering and technology department of Shanghai Port Logistics Co., Ltd., Shanghai Shangang Logistics currently undertakes the on-site consignment work of six container terminals at Shanghai Port, which accounts for about four-fifths of the entire Shanghai Port. Ever since the first time the imported Allison gearbox was imported from foreign countries in the 1990s, the Shanghai Hong Kong Group’s procurement of automatic transmission vehicles has consistently used the Allison fully automatic transmission.
“The efficiency, reliability and durability of Allison transmissions have left a deep impression on us since our first use 20 years ago; and automatic transmissions are relatively simple to operate and can effectively reduce drivers. The labor intensity," said Chen Tie, "especially considering the complex road conditions of the container terminal, the operating mode of the tractor has the characteristics of low speed, frequent start-stops, and many turns. For driving a manual transmission, the driver must frequently shift gears and step on Clutches are extremely prone to fatigue.
Chen Tie introduced that because of the busy business, the company's tractors operate twice a day, each class operates 12 hours a year, endlessly throughout the year, with an average of about 55,000 km per vehicle per year. “Continuous operation places high demands on the reliability of the transmission, especially at low speeds in the terminal. Allison Transmission’s Continuous Power TechnologyTM smoothly transfers uninterrupted power to the drive. Wheels enhance the reliability of vehicle operations, said Chen Tie.
Chen Tie said that the tractors equipped with Allison transmissions are mainly due to routine maintenance needs. The failure rate is much lower than that of manual transmissions, which improves the utilization of vehicles.
Given the special conditions of container terminals, how to retain drivers and recruit and train new drivers has become a headache for many terminal logistics companies, but Shanghai Port Group has no such problems. "Allison automatic gearbox has excellent starting performance, controllability and easy-to-drive features that reduce labor intensity, reduce the mobility of drivers, and effectively ease the recruitment of employees." Chen Tie said.
At present, the main models used in Shanghai Port are Shaanxi Automobile SX4184ZL301TL, SX4185ZK301 4X2 offset terminal tractors, OTTAWA YT50, and heavy duty ZZ5371VDKC30101 4X2 offset dock tractors, all of which are equipped with Allison 3000 series automatic transmissions.
