MTL is a heavy-duty vehicle manufacturer in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series.
Description[]
The brand appears to be based on heavy vehicle manufacturers like Mack and MAN SE, since their badges are also very similar and most of the vehicles are based on vehicles of the aforementioned manufacturers.
The name is likely an abbreviation of "metal", referencing the durability, strength, and reliability often associated with metal used for vehicles like trucks. The name and logo also bears similarities to HVY, another heavy duty truck manufacturer in the GTA series. When combined with MTL, the two abbreviations form "HVYMTL", a disemvoweling of "heavy metal", likely an Easter egg.
