BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Scania Argentina has chosen the fully automatic Allison 4700 OFS (Oil Field Series) transmission for its new Power Pack for the energy market in South America.

“We are convinced that the relationship between Scania and Allison Transmission will continue to position both brands as industry leaders for power applications,” said Guillermo Hughes, engineering manager for Scania Argentina.

The Scania Power Pack is a reliable power source designed for easy installation and maintenance.
