With nearly 100,000 visitors visiting the Milan Expo 2015 every day, this is not only a historic event for Milan, but also a great challenge for Amsa. Amsa is responsible for recycling waste, cleaning streets and providing environmental services in Milan. In order to meet these needs, the Amsa team added 55 Iveco trucks, of which 60% are equipped with Allison fully automatic transmissions .

In Amsa’s existing fleet of 400 vehicles equipped with Allison automatic transmissions, 33 additional Eurocargo sweepers equipped with Allison transmissions, compressed garbage trucks and Stralis heavy duty garbage trucks have been added. Iveco Dailys, Eurocargos and Stralis are used to clean streets in the centre of Milan and to recycle rubbish and organic waste around the Expo site.
Amsa team added 55 Iveco trucks, of which 60% are equipped with Allison automatic gearboxes
"Using fully automatic gearboxes means reduced maintenance requirements and increased vehicle availability, especially in harsh conditions such as garbage trucks that require frequent stop-starts." Mauro Colombo, Head of Engineering and Vehicle Maintenance, Amsa Say.
“For us, having an efficient fleet is crucial, which means reducing the number of maintenance and repairs, and trying to avoid vehicle breakdowns. Because parking inspections severely affect service plans and operational effectiveness,†said Colombo. Amsa's choice of fully-automated technology will ensure that Milan meets its service needs at this critical moment."
All of these vehicles are powered by alternative fuels to meet the theme of “sustainable development†at Expo Milano 2015. When paired with Allison automatic gearboxes, the patented torque converter technology increases engine torque, so the alternative fuel engine reacts more quickly. Even on steep slopes, the starting performance can be significantly improved. Excellent vehicle performance and productivity ensure that vehicles can do more work in less time.
“Allison Transmission maintains a high degree of cooperation with Amsa's engineering department. With its vision of technology, we are able to build customized solutions for our customers,†said Simona Pilone, Allison Transmission OEM Relations Manager Italy. "Allison and Amsa are eager to learn from each other and constantly introduce new technologies to achieve real value."
Efficiency and sustainable development are the basic values ​​of Amsa. However, similar to the World Expo, which has attracted many major events of concern, preparation work is of vital importance to the entire city. "We have made adequate preparations for the World Expo in organizing services and purchasing necessary new equipment, tools and vehicles," Colombo said. "Everything is going according to plan. We are very satisfied with the work we do." ."
However, efficiency and sustainable development are not the only factors that Amsa considers. Driver satisfaction is also a top priority for Amsa, and this is also the advantage of Allison automatic transmissions. Unlike the manual transmission, the Allison automatic transmission allows the driver to concentrate on manipulating the vehicle while reducing fatigue.
“Now, I have been driving a truck equipped with an Allison transmission for more than five years and I have never had a problem,†said Luigi Franza, a municipal mass organic waste recycling driver. “This truck is easy to drive and is very suitable In the center of Milan, you have to pay attention to the narrow streets of passing cars and pedestrians. You don't need to worry about shifting. You don't feel exhausted after one day of work."
