International Truck Introduces ProStar® ES Spec For Canada

International Truck has announced the availability of an additional fuel efficiency package for the International® ProStar® ES designed for the Canadian market with their need to operate up to 110,000 gross combined weight rating (GCWR).

First introduced in December 2014, the ProStar ES, short for “efficiency specification,” top flight aerodynamics and powertrain/transmission combinations, and a number of other advanced technologies.

Noted Bill Kozek, president Truck and Parts, Navistar,”The ProStar ES continues to leverage the latest advancements and has established a reputation in the industry for being one of the most fuel efficient, highest quality trucks on the road.”

According to International, the new ProStar ES spec features:

• The lowest wind averaged drag coefficient in the industry.
• Eaton 16-speed UltraShift® PLUS LSE which pairs the Cummins ISX15, as well as Navistar’s proprietary 13-liter engine
• XFE 75W-90 axle lubricant (available on the ISX15 and the N13), a new and innovative fuel efficient lubricant that reduces friction and spin losses, improves durability and drives further fuel efficiency improvements

“The launch of the ProStar ES in late 2014 generated a lot of interest in Canada, but the 80,000 pound GCWR limited its appeal, as many Canadian fleets want the flexibility up to run 110,000 pounds and still achieve outstanding fuel economy,” said Mark Belisle, president, Navistar Canada.
