Freightliner Trucks Discussion Thread

[supersobes]

We'd have to wait a long time for that. Freightliner trucks are built in North Carolina.

The next possible truck to get delivered from a plant is Peterbilt. The remaining manufacturers..........yeah we have a long wait like supersobes said. 3 brands should suffice for awhile til then. By the time the others arrive, it will be a breath of fresh air. By then, we could have extra models for the (3) manufactures we do have.

Hope they get the ultraloft cab before that ...

The manufacturing plants we have in ATS are:

1. Kenworth Trucks - Renton, Washington
2. Western Star Trucks - Portland, Oregon

The other class 8 truck manufacturing plants in the United States that could be added to ATS are:

1. Peterbilt Trucks - Denton, Texas
2. Freightliner Trucks/Western Star Trucks - Cleavland, North Carolina
3. Volvo Trucks - Dublin, Virginia
4. Mack Trucks - Macungie, Pennsylvania

In addition to those, International Trucks and Freightliner Trucks have manufacturing facilities in Mexico.

If SCS also wantes to add powertrain manufacturing plants, they could add:

1. Volvo/Mack Powertrain Plant - Hagerstown, Maryland
2. Detroit Diesel - Detroit, Michigan
3. Cummins - Columbus, Indiana
4. PACCAR - Columbus, Mississippi
5. Allison Transmissions - Indianapolis, Indiana

I thought that macks were made in allentown pa and doesn't Volvo have multiple truck plants

[supersobes]

Macungie is a suburb of Allentown, Pennsylvania. Other than the powertrain facility in Hagerstown and the manufacturing plant in Dublin, Volvo doesn't seem to have any other manufacturing plants in the United States. Mack Trucks recently opened a new plant in Roanoke, Virginia, but they don't make semi trucks there; they make the new Mack MD box truck.

Do we know of any Eaton manufacturing plants ?

Also, I know that there is at least one PACCAR plant in Quebec(Canada), the one in St-Therese which make Peterbilt trucks

[supersobes]

From what I can find, it looks like Eaton Fuller transmissions are made in China and Mexico. I can't seem to find any manufacturing plants from them in the United States.

Iirc, there was something Eaton that I found in Texas. Hold on a second. I looked like 3-4 months ago and posted somewhere around here. They might just be suppliers though. If we can't get the actual manufacturing facility, a supply depot works for me. If we get US-75 with the Texas dlc, we can have Eaton in Sherman, Tx.

They have one in king mountain, but they don't assemble transmissions there anymore.

Look like they still do parts and sub-assemblies there thought
