International Truck & Engine:
Understanding the Business is Critical in Selecting a Lead Logistics Provider

International Truck & Engine Corporation Logo: Link to International Truck & Engine Corporation Case Study

Summary

International Truck & Engine is a leading producer of commercial trucks, mid-range diesel engines and IC brand school buses, workhorse brand chassis for motor homes and step vans, as well as, a private label designer and manufacturer of diesel engines for the pickup truck, van and SUV markets. They needed logistics services from a provider who understood the fundamental differences between the manufacturing and distribution of cars and trucks. Penske’s unique combination of automotive and trucking experience made us the clear choice. Since then we’ve evolved from an International Truck & Engine customer to its lead logistics provider (LLP).
