International Truck recently launched its new MV Series trucks, next-generation medium-duty vehicles designed for increased maneuverability, visibility, and safety. The trucks are making their first public appearance at The Utility Expo, taking place today through Thursday in Louisville, Kentucky.

"The new International MV Series features thoughtful design that includes premier safety features, head-turning styling, simplified TEM integration and uptime enhancements," says Debbie Shust, vice president, Medium-Duty Truck. "We listened to customer feedback and developed a medium-duty vehicle that is custom-built for all their needs."

About The MV Series

The new trucks come with two engine options, the Cummins B6.7 and the L9, both of which offer increased fuel efficiency and extended maintenance intervals. The series features an aerodynamic hood, breakaway mirrors, a restyled bumper, and halogen headlights. Optional LED headlights are also available. Multiple collision mitigation enhancements are available as options, including the Bendix BlindSpotter Collision Warning System with side object detection alert. Operators can add the Bendix Wingman Fusion System as well, which includes adaptive cruise, multilane vehicle braking, stationary object alert, lane departure warning, and front radar and cameras. Other updates include a high-efficiency cooling module which eliminates mega-brackets to allow integrated front frame extensions along with hood-mounted splash panels and an on-engine air cleaner for better under-hood access.

High-Tech Features

International’s Diamond Logic electrical system is a standard feature on the new trucks. The system lets drivers create customized programming with options like external regen warning, hydraulic oil power take-off shutdown, and outrigger stowed interlock. OnCommand Connection, Navistar’s remote diagnostics system, provides support for the MV Series and customers can opt to receive real-time GPS and geofencing information, as well as vehicle health reports. Operators can also choose to add the International 360 service communications platform for easy access to the International service network.
