The Rastrojero is a small utility pickup truck (taxis were also developed) with a capacity of half-ton designed by Raúl Gómez and built by the Argentine government-owned airplane (and vehicle) manufacturer IAME (Industrias Aeronáuticas y Mecánicas del Estado) from 1952 to 1979.

[1] The Rastrojero was developed by the state owned Industrias Aeronáuticas y Mecánicas del Estado during the epoch of stimulus to the local work force and support to domestic industry under the presidency of General Juan Domingo Perón.

For the production of this vehicle, IAME used parts from Empire Tractors, which had been purchased from the United States a few years after end of World War II.

The new model came equipped with an Indenor XD 4.88 52 hp 4-cylinder diesel engine sourced from Peugeot, with a 4-speed gear box.

By instruction from the government's National Reorganization Process prevailing in Argentina, the production of the Rastrojero and all of its derivatives ended in 1979.
