Blue Diamond to build International LCF
Blue Diamond Truck, the joint venture between International Truck and Engine and Ford Motor, resurrected plans to build an LCF commercial truck in 2005. The class-3 to -5 truck-called the International CF Series-is aimed at larger leasing companies and urban pickup and delivery operations. It will use an International diesel engine and Ford automatic transmission, and be assembled in Escobedo, Mexico. Last year, International said it intended to build an LCF with Ford using cabs produced by Mazda. It hoped to bring the truck to market in 2004, but delayed its plans in the face of a generally sluggish market.
