Obama to visit Indianapolis Friday

This Friday President Barack Obama will tour the Allison Transmission Plant in Indianapolis, a rescheduled event that was originally meant to take place four weeks ago.

According to a press release issued by the White House Office of Media Affairs, “The President will tour Allison’s facilities before speaking to workers about his long-term plan to protect consumers against rising oil prices and decrease oil imports while ensuring a cleaner, safer and more secure energy future.”

Allison Transmission is the world’s largest manufacturer of fully-automatic transmissions for medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, tactical military vehicles and hybrid-propulsion systems.
