Sterling Only Truck OEM to Offer Full Line of Class 3-8 Vehicles
REDFORD, MICHIGAN... Sterling Truck Corporation today announced plans to unveil an exciting addition to its product lineup at NTEA's Work Truck Show in Atlanta, March 1-3, 2006. Introducing a new low cab-over-engine truck, Sterling will be the only truck OEM in the industry to offer a full line of Class 3-8 commercial vehicles.
Adding to Sterling's announcement earlier this year, the vehicle will be rolled out in Classes 3, 4 and 5 starting in spring 2006 at select Sterling dealerships across North America.
"The new low cab-over-engine truck is an exciting addition to the Sterling brand as we strive to provide our customers with a comprehensive offering for their trucking needs," said Chris Patterson, President and CEO of the Freightliner group.
Providing a durable and dependable solution for today's business owners, the vehicle will feature a low operating cost, competitive price points, and the necessary configurations for all popular body options like dry van, reefer, and stake applications.
The truck will be available with a 4.9 liter diesel engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and up to five wheelbases to accommodate 12- to 20-foot bodies. Additionally, the vehicle comes standard with comfort features like air conditioning and is available in five different colors.
Added John Merrifield, Senior Vice President of Distribution for the Freightliner group, "We've also made the entire purchasing process easy for our busy customers: the trucks can be purchased directly off dealership lots, dealers have been trained to provide expert pre- and post-sale support demanded by commercial truck owners, and prospective customers will benefit from Sterling dealers' reputation as 'work truck experts.'"
Ideal for applications such as wholesale and retail services, pickup and delivery, landscaping, and construction applications, the new Sterling truck features outstanding maneuverability, low maintenance requirements, and a modern and comfortable cab with the easiest entry and egress in the industry.
"We are proud that, with the introduction of this new truck, we have achieved Sterling's vision of being a full-line provider of vocational trucks," said Patterson. "Not only is this a logical next step in the growth of the company, but it also provides a platform for future product introductions."
Sterling already is well-positioned in the medium- and heavy-duty market with its three conventional models - the A-Line, L-Line, and the Acterra - plus the Class 6-7 cab-over Cargo. With a wide array of vocational applications from on-highway LTL and regional haul to construction and refuse, Sterling's hard-working trucks are distinguished by outstanding dependability, performance, and comfort.
Sterling Truck Corporation, based in Redford, Mich., produces heavy- and medium-duty custom work trucks for regional hauling and diverse vocational applications. Sterling is a member of the Freightliner group of companies. Freightliner is a subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler, the world's leading commercial vehicle manufacturer.
