Palmetto Truck Center Becomes First Dealership to Offer Autocar Commercial Trucks in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties

MIAMI--(Business Wire)--
Palmetto Truck Center expanded their commercial truck inventory to
include Autocar commercial trucks, becoming the first dealership in
Miami-Dade and Broward to offer the unique line, announced Bob
Yglesias, president of Palmetto Truck Center. Palmetto Truck Center
and Autocar signed a dealer agreement that will add Autocar's new
chassis ACX, E3 Hybrid, and the WX/WXR to Palmetto's expanding line of
commercial vehicles that includes Ford, Sterling, and recently added
Azure Dynamics.

"We are thrilled to add Autocar vehicles to our commercial vehicle
line up," remarked Yglesias. "We are continually looking to increase
our product selection for our clients. This line specializes in refuse
and waste disposal as well as vacuum trucks, airport refuelers and
concrete mixers."

Autocar products have proven to be more productive, effective, and
reliable than competitive vehicles. Autocar's refuse and waste
disposal vehicles are up to 1,000 pounds lighter and are highly
maneuverable for tight urban areas. They feature the strongest cabs in
the industry and their hoses and electrical harnesses are routed for
safety and convenient maintenance.

Palmetto Truck Center also will carry Autocar's E3 hybrid model in
the coming months. The E3 hybrid is an innovative, hybrid-powered
refuse truck that stores hydraulic energy from braking to supplement
the power of the diesel engine, which provides dramatic fuel savings,
an 80% improvement in brake life and significantly reduces emissions.

Autocar, LLC, headquartered in Hagerstown, Indiana, is a
manufacturer and marketer of LCF Class 8 trucks for refuse and waste
disposal. Autocar is the market leader for Low Cab Forward Refuse
equipment and has steadily increasing annual sales and is gaining
market share at a rapid rate. Autocar is a subsidiary of Highland
Park, Illinois-based Grand Vehicle Works Holdings LLC (GVW). For more

Palmetto Truck Center, Inc. is a second generation family-owned
and operated truck dealership. Founded in 1966, Palmetto Truck Center
is the largest Ford wholesale parts distributor in Miami-Dade and
Broward Counties servicing businesses throughout the area and
exporting internationally. While the dealership specializes in all
