Truck dealership Rush Enterprises said Thursday it has acquired Peterbilt Carolina, which includes a Peterbilt, Hino and Isuzu heavy- and medium-duty truck dealership.

Rush also acquired Adams International Trucks Inc., an International heavy- and medium-duty truck and custom chassis dealership.

The total purchase price for the acquisitions was about $40 million, Rush said in a statement.

Rush said will integrate the operations into its dealership network immediately, to operate as Rush Truck Center-Charlotte, and Rush International Truck Center-Charlotte. Both locations will offer new and used truck sales, parts and service support, as well as financing and insurance.



Rush will integrate Adams Collision Center by operating it as Rush Truck Center-Charlotte Collision Center, and an Idealease franchise, which Rush will operate as Rush Truck Leasing-Charlotte.
