Allison’s 2000 and 3000 Series transmissions for on/off highway applications are now going to be the standard automatic selection for Peterbilt’s Model 330, Model 335, and Model 340 medium-duty trucks. The Allison 2000 Series is available with and without PTO and is rated at 340 hp. and 660 lb.-ft. of torque, while the Allison 3000 Series, also available with a PTO option, is rated at 370 hp. and 1250 lb.-ft. of torque.
