Truckmaker International has announced the sale of 51 model 9800i COE heavy trucks to Maco Group, the authorized Navistar distributor in Chile.

The order includes 41 6x4 and ten 6x2 heavy tractors.

These units are all manufactured at the Navistar plant in Canoas, Brazil.

The trucks will primarily pull refrigerated trailers involved in the transport and distribution of fruit to other Mercosur bloc countries including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

The trucks are all equipped with 10.8-liter Cummins 410 horsepower ISM engines and 18-speed Eaton FO-16E318B-MXP (Multi-Purpose Extreme Performance) Ultrashift Plus automated manual transmissions.

Deliveries begin later this month and should be completed by the end of October.

"This is an excellent business opportunity in sales restrictions currently in the Brazilian market and especially favored by the current exchange rate, which brought price competitiveness to our product," says the president of International Trucks, Guilherme Ebeling.
