Euclid

Euclid US — Wikipedia page

Euclid Trucks was a manufacturer which specialized in heavy equipment for earthmoving, particularly dump trucks, loaders and wheel tractor-scrapers. Known for its distinctive bright green paint scheme, it operated in the United States from the 1920s to the 1950s, when it was purchased by General Motors.

Due to a 1968 Justice Department ruling, GM was required to stop manufacturing and selling off-highway trucks in the United States for four years and divest the Euclid brand. It was sold to White Motor Corporation,

In August 1977, White sold Euclid to Daimler Benz and, in January 1984, Daimler-Benz sold Euclid to one of Euclid’s former competitors, Clark Equipment Company. The following April, Clark formed a 50/50 joint venture with Volvo of Sweden, now known as Volvo Construction Equipment, to manufacture Volvo, Michigan and Euclid construction equipment under the name of VME Group NV. VME underwent several rather confusing reorganisation of its American and European operations, culminating in 1991 in the creation of a VME North Americas unit, to handle only the Euclid lines.

In December 1993, VME North America entered into a joint venture of its own with Hitachi Construction Machinery, called Euclid-Hitachi Heavy Equipment. Hitachi, a manufacturer of hydraulic construction machinery such as excavators and cranes, gradually increased its share of the joint venture until it owned 100% of the organization by 2000.
