Navistar adding SCR to MaxxForce 9, 10
SCR was added to MaxxForce 9, 10 by Navistar.
Navistar, Inc. aims to expand the selection of vehicle modifications and powertrain options available on models of vocational trucks offered under the International brand in addition to adding selective catalytic reduction (SCR) emissions technology to its high horsepower mid-range engines.
. According to Navistar, the MaxxForce 9 and MaxxForce 10 engines with SCR will only be available on International DuraStar and WorkStar vehicles.
As stated by Bill Kozek, President of North America Truck and Parts at Navistar, "We are happy to give these clients a wider range of engines by adding SCR to our 9-liter and 10-liter engines because we are aware that some of our customers need additional horsepower and torque." "Our medium-duty transition to SCR started well with our DuraStar with Cummins ISB 6.7 and we have high expectations for this chassis/engine combo as we watch the construction market continue to revive."
The International TerraStar, 2014's Medium-Duty Truck of the Year from ATD, will also be offered with further upgrades. The Allison Optimized 1000 Series transmission with an extra gear is now only available on the TerraStar. The close ratio, fully automated transmission now offers improved fuel efficiency, decreased engine noise, and optimal performance, claims the manufacturer. The TerraStar's front suspension has been enhanced, and the front spring and bumper have been modernized. According to the manufacturer, the suspension offers a smoother ride, especially while traveling over uneven terrain.
Another feature found on all International vocational trucks is the Diamond Logic electrical system, a programmable truck computer module that streamlines communication between the truck and extra equipment like plows, dumps, and spreaders. New Diamond Logic feature bundles, which Navistar introduced earlier this week, are available to the vocational market. These packages enable customers to easily find the most popular controls and then modify them to meet their own needs.
