The CV90 MkIV will become the first production platform to feature Allison’s new 4040 MX cross-drive transmission. Developed as an evolution of the proven 3040 MX, the new transmission delivers higher power capacity and upgraded electronic controls while maintaining the same compact footprint for seamless integration with the vehicle’s Scania engine. Production deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2028.
