Navistar announced it will offer the Tremec 10-speed manual transmission in its International ProStar model with the company’s 13-liter engine, for weight-sensitive applications such as bulk hauling.
Celadon Trucking Services has purchased more than 1,500 new tractors to add to its overall fleet.
The new powertrain gets up to 5% better fuel economy than older tractors with manual transmissions, the company says.
Navistar said it developed a specification for the International ProStar tractor that the company expects to deliver improved fuel economy results.
Navistar International won both categories in the American Truck Dealers’ 2014 Commercial Truck of the Year competition with its ProStar heavy duty and TerraStar medium-duty models. ATD announced the winners at a lunch on Sunday, during its joint annual convention with the National Automobile Dealers Association in New Orleans. The trucks were among three heavy and four medium-duty models submitted by manufacturers for judging last fall.
Navistar International Corp. announced that Truck-Lite high-visibility LED headlamps are now standard on International ProStar Class 8 on-highway trucks.
It's a driver's truck for its quietness and handling. And it's an owner's truck for its low maintenance and repairability.
With the launch of International's ProStar, we can truly see the impact of the platform approach adopted by the company back in the early 1990s.
