Overview edit

The EuroTrakker was first released in 1993. When it entered South Korea, it imported dump trucks for the first time through Halla Heavy Industries,[2] The truck was available in six and eight wheel tipper format, 4x4 and 6x6 rigid format and also a 6x4 tractor format. The engine options offered produced 227hp to 370hp supported by ZF 16 speed manual gearbox and Eaton 12 speed was optional also the high-powered versions offered hub reduction capable of 40ton payload capacity which made them suitable for super to heavy-duty operations.[3]

The import was practically discontinued when Halla went bankrupt due to the IMF bailout in 1997. The EuroTrakker was discontinued in 2004 when its successor, the Trakker, was released.[4] In Libya, the EuroTrakker is manufactured under the Trucks and Bus Company brand name.
