Trial by Torture: Australian Internationals Put Through Rugged Test
The Australian built Internationals undergo relentless testing from early 1950, on rough Dandenong ranges and Gippsland tracks, to prove part quality and overall durability. The AL IO AL-130 AL-160 and AL-162 models face brake, transmission, engine and axle strain, including a 23,500 lb overloaded test to break axles, with tests on seals, cooling, steering, and cab mountings. Local manufacture began in 1950 with high Australian content and ongoing component trials to boost safety and endurance.
