Western Star 4700 Series aimed at vocational,municipal customers

摘要

Western Star has launched a series of heavy-duty trucks aimed at vocational and municipal customers who want a midrange-size powertrain and its somewhat lower cost. The trucks, a size sometimes called Baby 8s in the industry, will be offered with the Cummins ISC and ISL, and with Detroit Diesel's DD13. Designated 4700, the series will complement the heavier 4900 trucks and tractors and 6900 extreme-service vehicles, said Mike Jackson, the builder's general manager, during an unveiling on the eve of the opening of the Work Truck Show in Indianapolis.
