Cat may well sell "Vocational" trucks here in the states. But everything I have heard the last couple years (my best friend deals with Cat MFG directly) Cat OTR trucks will only be sold in Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil and on the Africa content....because of the environmental standards here. When CAT first announced the decision to build trucks...I do believe they stated then, that OTR trucks would be sold only overseas...and Vocational would only be sold here in the states. Maybe Canada and Mexico will qualify as "overseas" and we will see those OTR trucks on our highways. I believe CAT also said that the trucks themselves were going to be based on the ITH body style.
My friend Pat just got back from a trip down to Brazil and he saw several of the Cat road trucks on a sales lot in Manzanares (sp?) Brazil..........At least......he said they were CAT road trucks. Pat is a dyed in the wool Mack man. But he liked the looks of those trucks with the unibody sleepers.

Thats because CAT couldn't keep up with emission standards, but Navistar could without any extra fluids or afterburners.

Well, I watched the video and I'm disappointed. Is that all they're going to do? Animated CARTOON trucks????????
