International offering seats with rollover protection as option on ProStar models

Apr 7, 2016

International has announced it will offer a seat with rollover protection as an option on its ProStar Class 8 trucks.

IMMI’s RollTek safety system combines seat belt technology and side airbag protection in the event of a rollover. It has a sensor located behind the seat that monitors the angular position of the truck and activates when it detects an imminent rollover.

When activated, the system deploys side-roll airbags, tightens the seat belt and lowers the seat to help reduce injury risk and maximize safety for drivers.

After the truck was retired about three years ago, owner Joel Anker had it rebuilt into a show truck. The hard work paid off, with a fifth-place finish in the Limited Mileage -- Bobtail with Miles class at MATS in March.
