Volvo traces the machine’s lineage back to 1934 when Euclid Road Machinery built what Volvo calls the world’s first off-road truck, the Model 1Z. The trucks have been manufactured in Motherwell, Scotland since 1950. General Motors bought Euclid in 1953 and renamed its earthmoving division “Terex,” from the Latin words “terra” (earth) and “rex” (king). Terex became independent from General Motors in 1987, and was acquired by North West Engineering in 1992, forming the Terex Corporation. The Volvo Group purchased the Terex line of off-road trucks in 2014 and has so far marketed it as Terex Trucks. “It is important for us to preserve the legacy, the experience and the relationships that have been built over the years,” says Melker Gerenberg, President of Volvo CE and Executive Vice President of Volvo Group. “We didn’t want to change everything about what made Terex Trucks so successful in the first place. It was essential to allow the company to operate with the same autonomy it had always had. With the rebranding of Terex Trucks to Rokbak, we see a continuation of strong company traditions, and shake up the industry. And do things their own way.”
