Case Study: Wessington Springs School District improves maneuverability, fuel efficiency and driver comfort with Eaton Procision transmissions

Future is ‘now’ for South Dakota school bus team

Wessington Springs School District, located in Wessington Springs, South Dakota, needed a safer, more comfortable way to transport students through hilly terrain and occasional snowy conditions. Eaton supplied Procision dual-clutch automatic transmissions to help the district better handle the demands of daily school bus routes.

With Eaton’s Procision transmission, the district reported improved maneuverability, smoother shifting, better driver comfort, and stronger fuel efficiency. Features like Hill Helper, Tap Down Shifting, and Shuttle Shift helped drivers manage grades and snow more confidently, while maintenance intervals of up to 10 years or 150,000 miles added long-term cost-saving benefits.
