Dart was a manufacturer of commercial vehicles in Waterloo, Iowa, that was established around 1910.

History

The company began with light commercial vehicles for farmers in Waterloo. Later Liberty trucks, tractors and vehicles for the oil industry were built. In WWII there were less successful attempts with heavy army trucks as the Truck Tractor T13. Later on the company merged with Paccar and built huge mining trucks for off-highway-use. The trademark is no longer in use.
