oval on their HN80 ("AeroMax") family of trucks after the purchase.

Sterling built class 8 tractors, as well as a range of medium and heavy duty cab/chassis vehicles. With bodies

added by third-party upfitters/body builders, these cab/chassis vehicles were used for freight distribution as well

as heavy vocational uses, such as construction, snow plowing and refuse collection.

In the last few years of operation, the company also marketed light medium-duty cab/chassis vehicles

manufactured by Mitsubishi Fuso (Sterling 360 models) and Dodge (Sterling Bullet models). These were

typically outfitted with bodies suitable for use as lighte r vocational trucks those designed to perform jobs

other than straight freight hauling including fire trucks , garbage trucks , dump trucks , concrete mixers , tanker

trucks , and snowplows .

While production and sales of Sterling vehicles will wind down, support for parts and repair of vehicles will

continue at authorized dealers and shops.[edit ]Models
