What's the history of International Trucks?
The historical basis of International Truck can be traced back to 1830, when Cyrus Hall McCormick completed a version of his horse-drawn harvester from Virginia.
In 1831 and 1834, the harvester was successfully tested and Cyrus applied for a patent. Together with his brother, McCormick moved to Chicago.
In 1847, McCormick Harvesting Machine Company was founded. Due to shrewd and innovative business models, McCormick harvesters are in short supply. The development of railroad construction in the United States during the same period also opened up distant market areas and provided a wide distribution of their product markets. In the field of marketing and sales technology, he has developed and trained salesmen to form a vast network.
In 1902, mcCormick Harvesting, Machine Company and Deering Harvester Company merged to form a diversified manufacturer, involving construction machinery, gas turbines, trucks, buses, agricultural machinery and many other fields. This is the famous International Harvester Company (International Harvester Company). Machine Company), during World War II, provided the famous KB series trucks, which are also the prototypes of the Soviet Union Guiz 150 and my country’s Liberation CA10.
In 1979, a series of decision-making and employee conflicts stopped production for about half a year. The internal and economic problems of the company's senior management eventually led to the reorganization of the company's assets in early 1986 and its name was changed to navistar International Corporation. Commercial vehicles International Truck and Engine Corporation continues to produce medium and heavy-duty trucks, school buses, buses and engines.
