New Australian range of International Harvester trucks introduced
A report on International Harvester’s Australian push reveals an entirely new truck series designed locally in Australia. The range includes eight models with a mix of six cylinder petrol and Perkins diesel engines, plus a shift toward V eight configurations. Testing in Anglesea and Dan Nenong shows rigorous road and splash tests, with production centered at Geelong and Dandenong. The move shores up about 40 percent of International’s sales in Australia, though most units remain customized for special orders and local needs. The article notes collaboration between army engineers and IH design staff and highlights the heavy emphasis on Australia’s market needs and local manufacturing capabilities.
