When you’re investing in a new commercial truck, you want to know where it comes from, who builds it, and why it’s worth your trust. For decades, International® trucks have been a go-to for reliability, innovation, and performance on the road. But who exactly makes International trucks, and what sets their manufacturing process apart?

We’ll take you behind the scenes of the International brand, where their trucks are made, how they’re engineered, and why so many drivers and fleet owners across Florida and beyond rely on them every day.

International trucks are manufactured by Navistar International Corporation, a global transportation leader with over a century of history in the commercial vehicle industry. Headquartered in Lisle, Illinois, Navistar produces some of the most respected trucks in the country under the International name. Navistar announces rebrand and name change to International on September 25, 2024.

This rich history reflects a deep commitment to American engineering, evolving technology, and long-term reliability.

Most International trucks are manufactured right here in the United States at the company’s state-of-the-art production facilities. One of the key facilities is located in San Antonio, Texas, where a modern assembly plant was opened in 2022 to boost production capacity and improve build quality.

The San Antonio plant features advanced automation, robotics, and precision tooling for the best efficiency. It’s also staffed by skilled American workers who are committed to quality across the board. This location is designed to produce both diesel and electric models, supporting innovation in all areas. Altogether, the manufacturing process not only ensures consistency in every truck that rolls off the line but also shortens delivery timelines for customers across the southern U.S.

Reliability isn’t just about where a truck is built; it’s about how it’s built. International trucks are known for their attention to detail, advanced engineering, and thoughtful design, all geared toward the needs of real-world drivers and fleet managers. Here are just a few of the ways the International brand stands out:

In 2021, Navistar joined forces with the TRATON Group, which also owns brands like Scania and MAN. This partnership gives International access to world-class research and shared technology resources, strengthening their global reach while keeping manufacturing deeply rooted in America.
