Description

Australian outback truckers covering enormous distances on rugged and unsealed roads need to equip their rigs with special modifications. They include a huge bull-bar (roo-bar), a sheet of wire mesh for windscreen protection, special dust filters, additional long range fuel tanks, heavy duty wheels, airconditioning and an array of different driving lights. Bulk goods are normally transported in Road Trains, which can have up to 3 trailers with a total length of over 31 metres.

The Western Star started to design and to build industrial vehicles in 1967. Since the beginning the Western Star product line up was a good synthesis, for its features, of the “ideal” American heavy truck. In particular the trucks dedicate to perform the highway transportation duties are still the reference point in the Western Star range. The American manufacturer is specialised in “tailor made”, in terms of engines, gearboxes and frames, and customised trucks in order to meet the specific customer’s needs. However the customisation doesn’t stop to the technical configuration made by the factory. Most of time the passionate drivers used to equip their trucks with a wide adoption of accessories and chromed parts that make them unique and authentic “masterpieces” on wheels.
