Rush Truck Centers of Georgia is buying certain assets of Asbury Automotive Atlanta, which operates commercial truck and bus dealerships representing International, Peterbilt, Isuzu, Hino, UD, IC Bus, and Workhorse in Atlanta, Doraville and Kennesaw, Ga.,
and a collision center in Atlanta under the "Nalley Motor Trucks" name.

The proposed acquisition would expand parent company Rush Enterprise' contiguous network of Rush Truck Centers in the Southeast and would result in the company operating 64 Rush Truck Center locations in 14 states.

The completion of the acquisition is subject to several closing conditions, including the approval of the manufacturers currently represented by Nalley Motor Trucks, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2011.

"The proposed acquisition is a tremendous opportunity for Rush to support customers in the Atlanta market with well-respected heavy- and medium-duty truck and bus brands," said W. M. "Rusty" Rush, President and CEO of Rush Enterprises.
