Milestone Star

-

THE 200,000TH WESTERN Star has rolled off the production line in the United States.

The iconic North American make was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1967, specialisi­ng in trucks built for the logging and oil industries.

Daimler Trucks bought the brand in 2000 – and six years later it rolled out the 100,000th Western Star

hereas it took 39 years to get to that milestone, it’s taken only 14 more years to double that number.

The anniversar­y vehicle – a Western Star 4700 SB with a waste water disposal body – was handed over to customer Joe Johnson Equipment at the plant in Portland, Oregon. The operator is a leading supplier of infrastruc­ture maintenanc­e equipment in North America.
