Allison Transmission appointed G. Frederick (Fred) Bohley III as the new chief operating officer, effective immediately. This appointment was approved by Allison’s board of directors.

Bohley, who has been with Allison Transmission since 1991, will continue to hold his current roles as chief financial officer and treasurer while taking on his new responsibilities as chief operating officer. In his expanded role, Bohley will oversee the Finance, Strategy and Business & Corporate Development, Information Systems & Services (IS&S) and Operations organizations.

Allison Transmission says that it started an extensive search for a new chief financial officer to succeed Bohley in these roles. In the interim, he will continue to serve in these capacities to ensure a smooth transition.
