More trucks...

Here some oldies... from Hanktruckspictures.com

An old Freighliner "torton" (it seems the word is a deformation of Thronton).

Looks deceive.... It is a Peña Motor, not a Kenworth. They were license built locally but used different internals...

These Volvo-White were built briefly in Mexico, in GM Toluca plant.

Here are pictures taken in the early 90´s...

Most of these trucks have been scrapped or are still in service in much smaller numbers...

Two FAMSA tractors. They were license built from International.

A local development. This is a Ramirez R22. The bulges on the cab´s doors allowed the seats to be folded down into a bed, in case a sleeper was not installed.

Another Ramirez. This series was launched in 1972 and lasted up to 1995. This is an early model.

This is the mid 80´s redesign. There were later versions with flush headlights and a more rounded bonnet.

These DINA 861 tractors were license built from International Transtar series...

Another DINA. The twin vertical headlights were the latest addition in 1989, before the series was discontinued.

This is a late series DINA 531. Although based in the International Loadstar, internals were completely different, including very noisy and distinctive Perkins engines. They are now confined to remote areas within Mexico

Another DINA. This time is a 631 which used a bigger Perkins engine and another gearbox for improved performance, thus requiering a bigger bonnet.

This is an original International Loadstar. Comparing with the DINA, bonnets were different, grilles and headlights. Internals too; Loadstars used Detroit Diesel two-strokes.

An early series Ramirez. Very well kept at that time....

Yes indeed. Brazilian trucking is mostly European influenced, although I remeber seeing a lot of Chevrolet, Ford, Kenworth, Mack and Navistar.

Those pictures are old, but European trucks have only 10% of the local market share, at least in Mexico. I will post modern trucks tomorrow.

There is a similar thread in the general Latin American forums.

Strange, the Man trucks would only be on sale from the first half of this year.

Modern European and Brazilian trucks in Mexico.

DAF is to be sold locally but there are two medium models that had been offered since 2005 but marketed as Kenworth. They are built in the Mexicali plant.

The market is still dominated by US firms, but Scania had some success until they decided to concentrate in buses and special vehiclues. They are back in 2012 with tractors.

MAN has been selling since 2008 with limited sales while Volvo is more succesful with its American VN series. Anyway Volkswagen has been selling well since its introduction in 2004 and they have announced the Constellation series for this year.

Another brand returning with European trucks is Mercedes Benz.

More pictures to come...
