US-based Navistar International has commenced the delivery of its first International DuraStar vehicles with the Cummins ISB 6.7-liter engine.
The DuraStar is available with the MaxxForce 7, MaxxForce DT and MaxxForce 9 - in many horsepower and torque ranges, the company claims.
It also features front windshield for improved visibility, a 50 degree wheel cut offering a tight turning radius, a roomy cab for driver comfort, as well as Diamond Logic electronic control system.
Navistar International North America Truck and Parts president Bill Kozek said that the addition of the ISB to the company's portfolio in early September was the driving factor in achieving, just weeks later, its best Class 6/7 order month in two years.
"Today we have received orders for more than 4,500 DuraStar units, and with initial customers such as Budget Truck Rental, Idealease and Penske, we are poised to regain market share in the medium-duty segment," added Kozek.
