Marmon-Herrington Unveils It's Newest Vehicle Designed to Serve the Military

INDIANAPOLIS--Oct. 2, 20034, 2003--Marmon-Herrington, industry leader for over seventy years in All-Wheel Drive technology, recently unveiled an all-new vehicle at the ICUEE show. The Sterling 4x4, the vehicle with show-stopping power and performance, was one of the show's biggest head-turners.

The Sterling 4x4 is a prototype Marmon-Herrington developed for the Canadian Military Forces. It comes equipped with all of the Marmon-Herrington bells and whistles. The vehicle has both front and rear Marmon-Herrington axles with an available Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS). This system lowers air pressure in the vehicle's tires for better traction and also produces a wider footprint to keep it from sinking in soft terrain, like sand.

The prototype also features a new innovation from Marmon-Herrington known as Automatic Drive-Train Management (or ADM) With ADM, microprocessors monitor key vehicle & ground conditions to know when to activate the vehicle's all-wheel drive system and also when to prevent it from becoming activated. The ADM system eliminates driver intervention while also protecting the vehicle from unnecessary wear and tear.

By adding technical innovations such as Marmon-Herrington's CTIS and ADM systems, commercial trucks can perform like specialized tactical vehicles and get the job done effectively and efficiently. Tyler Bean, General Manager adds "this truck is amazing in how simple it makes driving a class 8 truck through otherwise impassable conditions."

Marmon-Herrington is also well known for the creation of the Marmon Wasp, the winner of the first Indy 500.
