Brand history
Founded in 1902, International Harvester Company resulted from the merger of several agricultural machinery companies, including the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. Initially specializing in reapers, the company quickly expanded its production to include trucks, tractors, and construction equipment. In 1907, International introduced its first light truck, the Model A, designed for agricultural use. Over the decades, the company diversified its commercial vehicle lineup, producing heavy-duty trucks and buses. During World War II, it also manufactured military vehicles for the Allied forces. In 1986, the company rebranded as Navistar International Corporation, focusing on commercial vehicles. In 2021, it joined the TRATON Group, alongside Scania, MAN, and Volkswagen Truck & Bus, strengthening its position in the global commercial vehicle market. (brand.international.com)
