Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp. debuts new Allison 9-speed transmission for S2RV
GAFFNEY, SC (September 16, 2026) — Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp. (FCCC) is making its industry-leading S2RV Super C chassis even more “Adventure Ready” with the introduction of the new 2909MH 9-speed transmission from Allison Transmission at the 2026 America’s Largest RV Show, taking place Sept. 16-20 in Hershey, PA.
The state-of-the-art, fully automatic 9-Speed is designed to maximize fuel savings and ride smoothness, bringing a new level of ride quality and overall experience to FCCC’s popular S2RV chassis. Featuring Allison Transmission’s FuelSense® 2.0 with DynActive® Shifting and optimized shift skipping, the 9-Speed leverages the durability of the Allison 2000 SeriesTM to create a better driving experience for RVers in the Super C segment.
“The new 9-speed transmission from Allison is an absolute game changer for S2RV and our OEM partners,” said Jeremy Buckmeier, RV Product Manager for FCCC. “It brings a range of exciting new capabilities and features to S2RV while maintaining the power, performance and reliability Allison products are known for.”
Specifically designed for RV products, the 2909MH 9-speed transmission brings several important new features and enhancements to the S2RV compared with a traditional 6-speed transmission, including increased acceleration, fuel economy and output torque.
The 2900MH shares more than 70% parts commonality with its 2000 Series 6-speed transmission, meaning it was built from a model with millions of proven miles on the road while providing a familiar driving experience and ease of service and maintenance.
FCCC RV products offer industry-leading safety features and are backed by a comprehensive service network featuring 24/7 Direct service and support with access to FCCC’s nationwide service network, including more than 450 service centers and 90+ RV-centric Oasis locations.
