Each dealer will market and support the Autocar Xpeditor, a heavy-duty LCOE truck that is widely used in refuse collection and in other vocational markets. Autocar now has a total of 24 dealer locations in major markets across the United States.

Autocar, LLC was formed in July 2001, when parent company Grand Vehicle Works Holdings LLC purchased the Autocar name and the Xpeditor truck line from Volvo Trucks North America Inc. The company last week announced the hiring of Richard “Dick” Frisbie as its director of dealer development.
