kscarbel2 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Prime Mover Magazine / October 29, 2015Iveco releases new book on Australian historyIveco has launched a new book titled ‘Inter to Iveco’, which chronicles its Australian truck history.The book documents "the rise and fall of the International Trucks brand in Australia" and its subsequent acquisition by Iveco in the early 1990s. According to Iveco, the book is the fourth truck industry title by Colin A. McKenzie, a former Chief Engineer of the Truck Division of International Harvester Co. of Australia, and one he describes as a “labour of love”.“I thought this story was one worth sharing and needed to be documented for the future,” said McKenzie. “International Harvester was established here in 1912 as a distributor of agricultural and truck products with local manufacturing of agricultural equipment starting in 1939 at Geelong, and truck production in Dandenong in 1952, this facility was bought by Iveco in 1992.“Having spent some time at Iveco during the writing process, it was pleasing to see that there was still a good deal of Australian engineering taking place at the facility – the operation was still working with the same intent as when it was started: manufacturing to suit the local market.”.
