Navistar Releases International DuraStar Vehicles with Cummins ISB Engines
Navistar has begun customer shipments of its first International® DuraStar® vehicles with the Cummins ISB 6.7-liter engine.
The first units were released from the company’s Escobedo, Mexico assembly plant and strong demand has resulted in more than 4,500 medium-duty truck orders.
According to Navistar, the DuraStar is available with the broadest array of specifications in the medium-duty industry and the addition of the Cummins ISB 6.7-liter engine now expands Navistar’s product reach to a wider audience. The DuraStar is also available with the MaxxForce® 7, MaxxForce DT and MaxxForce 9 – in many horsepower and torque ranges.
The DuraStar provides a swept back front windshield for improved visibility, a 50 degree wheel cut offering a tight turning radius and a roomy cab for driver comfort. The vehicle also comes standard with Diamond Logic® electr
onic control system, one of the most advanced electrical multiplexing architectures available in commercial trucks. Diamond Logic maximizes ease of body integration and helps deliver a number of smart, customizable features for added convenience and safety.
Navistar is on track to being regular production of IC Bus™ CE Series school buses with the Cummins ISB 6.7-liter engine in late-January 2014. To date, the company has received more than 6,000 orders for medium-duty trucks and school buses with the ISB engine.
