The $120 million Autocar plant in Birmingham’s Pinson Valley cut the ribbon for an official grand opening today, but that doesn’t mean the factory hasn’t already been churning out trucks.

Autocar started producing trucks in September about the same time the plant formerly known only by the code name “Project Sunrise” was announced as an expansion of the Indiana-based Autocar.
