As a revered titan in the automotive industry, International has carved out a significant niche in the realm of durable and robust vehicles, particularly specializing in trucks and engines. Founded in 1902 under the name International Harvester Company, this iconic brand began its journey in Chicago, Illinois, a brainchild of several merging equipment manufacturers. The company quickly distinguished itself by producing the “Auto Wagon,” its original vehicle launched in 1907. This vehicle, marketed primarily to farmers, was revolutionary, effectively combining the utility of a farm wagon with the nascent technology of motorized transport.

Over the decades, International expanded its reach and diversified its portfolio, leading the way in the development and production of medium-duty trucks, school buses, and diesel engines. Today, the brand operates under the name Navistar International, reflecting its broadened horizon yet retaining its core focus on high-performance and heavy-duty vehicles. Recent years have seen the brand emphasize innovations in fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, aligning with global environmental standards and responding proactively to the dynamic demands of the modern auto industry. Despite facing fierce competition, International continues to thrive, underpinned by a legacy of resilience and adaptability.
