Autocar is one of the most famous and oldest truck manufacturers in all of America. The company was founded back in 1897 as the Pittsburgh Motor Vehicle Company and began its activities with the production of bicycles under the Autocar brand. The first truck in the company was built in 1899. At that time, no one had heard of such brands as Kenworth or Peterbilt.
For many years of the 20th century, Autocar Company was called the best manufacturer of technically sophisticated and very durable trucks. Perhaps the analogy with the Swiss company Saurer is appropriate here, because its heavy trucks were similarly considered innovative, and they received very good reviews. And just like Saurer, Autocar managed to lose the fight to its competitors.
In the middle of the 20th century, Autocar began a protracted decline in sales. In 1953, White Motor bought it, and 27 years later, both brands with factories were acquired by Swedish investors from the AB Volvo concern. To optimize costs, the Autocar lineup was narrowed, which is why the brand, by 1988, rolled down to the production of garbage trucks, sweepers and terminal tractors.
Volvo got rid of the inconvenient asset only in 2001, preferring to invest in the Musk brand. Thus, Autocar returned to American hands and for several years, with emphasis, maintained its own production. The assortment was limited only to cabovers, which in America means a negligible market niche. And now, 31 years later, Autocar announced that it was returning to the hooded truck market.
In all advanced economies, truck markets have long been divided. Not only that, they are airtight. And it doesn't matter if it's Europe or the United States, it's almost impossible for a newcomer to infiltrate there. The return after a long absence of several decades is also very doubtful. And yet Autocar is trying to do it.
To successfully continue the old tradition, the Autocar DC-64 truck received a number of specialized solutions. The car belongs to the 8th heavy load class (weighing more than 14,969 kg) and is intended mainly for use in public utilities and construction. It features a completely new 3-seater cab. The sloped hood design and angled windshield enhance visibility for the driver. The instrument panel is made of brushed aluminium. Aluminum interior door handles have been replaced with durable plastic. “Still, garbage disposal is not a particularly clean job,” said Eric Schwartz, managing director of Autocar Trucks.
Engineers claim that for the DC-64 they designed the frame in such a way that it will be 24% stronger than other analogues available on the market today. The frame is made of heavy-duty steel, which reduces the curb weight of the vehicle and increases its carrying capacity.
Despite the fact that the vehicle is designed for urban work, even a 500-horsepower Cummins X12 engine with a torque of 2305 Nm can be installed under the hood of the truck. By the way, Autocar was the first to use this 930-kilogram copy for municipal vehicles.
And since we are talking about a modern truck, it is easy to imagine that the Autocar DC-64 is fully equipped with the latest equipment and electronic systems. These include, in particular, an on-board telemetry system with a remote diagnostics function.
