Autocar Trucks

Autocar is the only American truck manufacturer focused on trucks for severe-duty vocational applications. But above all, Autocar is focused on our customers: We don’t just build trucks, we provide a complete tool - a whole system - that helps our customers to be more successful and to achieve their challenging objectives. Our slogan, “Always Up®” isn’t just some fancy promise – it’s a state of mind. Always Up means we work intimately with our customers so that every single one of our trucks is purpose-built to fit the specific needs of their business and stay in service. Always Up also means our Autocar Solutions® 24/7 service command center solves our customers' technical issues and coordinates our network of hundreds of authorized Autocar service locations across the United States and Canada. Autocar’s hundreds of customers include every national waste-hauling fleet, major cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, and Charlotte, and many of the largest retailers and freight handlers in North America. With a steady stream of innovations ranging from improved ergonomic cabs, enhanced safety and productivity, and unsurpassed body-chassis integration, Autocar has staked out a position as the industry's technology and innovation leader. We have a demanding legacy to live up to: Autocar is the oldest motor vehicle manufacturer in the United States and built America's first truck, in 1899. The many technical innovations first introduced by Autocar which are now standard in all cars and trucks around the world, plus its focus on custom-engineering trucks for the most demanding applications, led to Autocar’s reputation among truck professionals in the 20th Century as the "World's Finest". A proudly American-owned company, Autocar is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama and is affiliated with GVW Group, based in Highland Park, Illinois.
