2014 International TranStar

With the launch of the International TranStar regional-haul tractor with a MaxxForce 13 engine employing Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) emissions technology, Navistar completes the fifth heavy-duty International truck model since December 2012 in its transition to SCR technology since December 2012. 

“We continue to rapidly increase our 15-liter and 13-liter product coverage and we remain on track to complete the SCR transition of our heavy-duty truck offerings,” said Navistar North American Truck and Parts President Bill Kozek. “The trucks we are building today are the highest quality trucks Navistar has ever built and they offer improved fuel economy with the same off-the-line responsiveness.”
