Caterpillar to bring vocational truck production to U.S. facility

Caterpillar, Peoria, Ill., has announced it will begin independently designing and manufacturing its vocational truck product family at its plant in Victoria, Texas. The plant, which opened in 2012, currently produces hydraulic excavators.

Previously Caterpillar worked with Navistar for the products' design and build, which are currently manufactured in Escobedo, Mexico.

The transition process will begin immediately, with production expected to begin in the first half of 2016 Caterpillar Victoria will continue to produce excavators, and the addition of the vocational truck production is expected to add about 200 new jobs at the facility.
