New Sterling Commercial Trucks

One of our most popular models for refuse and recycling applications, the medium-duty Acterra combines modern styling with vocational options like multiple PTO configurations to get the job done. With several engine choices and superior cooling capacity, Acterra is ideal for the frequent stops of the waste management business. Inspired by Sterling's heavy-duty heritage, the Acterra is a unique choice for medium-duty refuse applications. Drivers love the ease-of-entry in the 3-man Sterling cab, and managers love the reliability and serviceability of the modern Acterra design.
