History edit

In the 1960s, White Motor Company, the owner of White Trucks, also had a stake in White Frieghtliner, along with majority shareholder Consolidated Freightways.

Starting in the 1930s, Consolidated, based in Portland and San Francisco, California, had wanted a shorter and lighter-weight, "West-Coast" style Class 8 truck.[1] It approached White about forming a joint venture to produce a lighter truck, made with aluminum alloys, more suited for the extended miles between destination from the West Coast ports of California, Oregon, and Washington, to the Midwest and Eastern markets. White Freightliner was born (now just Freightliner) and with its cab-over-engine (COE)-aluminum skin and frame truck, produced better fuel mileage and hauled more freight in the same overall length.

So, in the 1960s, White Motor Company began looking for another truck to exploit the Western markets, mainly targeting mining, logging, and oil field heavy-duty trucks. In addition, some freight customers did not like buying a truck from a competitor, Consolidated Freightways, also hauling freight.

Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, the White Western Star division engineering and operations began in 1967, and production began in Canada. White Western Star operated from 1967 until 1979, but do to the fuel crisis of the 1970s and poor management, never gained significant market share, and suffered financially.

In 1980 Volvo Trucks purchased White.

In the early 1980s Pozzolanic, an Australian fly ash producer, was one of the largest owners of White Trucks in Australia.[2] In 1983 White Motor Company of Australia went broke, the U.S. parent had been suffering for many years in the late 1970s and early 1980s also. White Motor Company of Australia was purchased by the majority shareholder in Pozzolanic, the American-Australian businessman Terry Peabody, in 1983. While White in the U.S. had sold the Western Star division to a Canadian group of shareholders. Terry Peabody then went to the Canadian group and got the rights to use the Western Star nameplate in Australia.[2]

and Western Star was spun off as a separate company when it was purchased by [2] Under his leadership the company financial status was improved and the Canadian portion of the business was sold. In 2000, the company became a division of Freightliner LLC and sister to Sterling Trucks within Daimler AG.

Peadbody still owns operations in Australia, which are based in Wacol, Queensland.

Models edit

Western Star produces a range of heavy duty trucks suited to a variety of purposes including semi-trailer, multiple trailer, heavy haulage and tipper-and-dog applications. Both Aerodynamic and traditionally styled conventional models are available with the spacious Constellation Series cab, introduced in 1996. This replaced the much smaller Heritage series cab that had been used for several decades in White trucks. A range of sleepers, trim levels, gearboxes, and engines from Cummins, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel and Mercedes allow buyers to customize their truck to suit their needs. In Australia and America.
