International is back in the Class 4/5 segment, with the new CV Series it co-designed with GM.
The company unveiled the new model during an event attended by about 500 customers, dealers and media here Nov. 7. It believes cus- tomers will benefit from Interna- tional’s expansive, commercial vehi- cle-focused dealer network.
Moving from start-up to scale-up was the theme behind the launch.
“When a start-up business moves to the scale-up stage, the Interna- tional CV Series provides a truck that will take their business to the next level,” said Michael Cancel- liere, Navistar’s president, truck and parts. “We’ve designed, built and tested the CV Series to deliver the commercial-grade power, reli- ability and practicality that growing businesses require, along with the comfort, safety features and easy drivability that drivers appreciate. And we are backing it up with the expertise of the International dealer network, the only network in this category 100% dedicated to com- mercial vehicles.”
The Class 4/5 segment represents a market of about 40,000 units per year.
“These customers operate trucks in unique industries and vocations – everything from towing to land- scape, construction to repair ser- vices,” Cancelliere said. “To these companies, the truck is an inte- gral part of how they service their customers.”
Ford has dominated the segment, but Cancelliere said customers were looking for a new choice.
“Customers told us they were ready for a different solution, for a new alternative. They no longer want to do business with automo- tive dealers that dabble in trucks,” he said. “These customers need a brand that focuses on uptime with service capabilities and dealership hours that meet their needs. They want more than a truck, they want a commercial truck partner to help take their business from start-up to scale-up.”
David Majors, vice-president of product development, said the truck
was built to handle tough commercial applications. The chassis features 50,000 psi frame rails, and the entire chassis is factory-painted for cor- rosion resistance. A gear- driven transfer case pro- vides better strength than a chain-driven design, he said.
The truck features an air-ride suspension and is powered by a 6.6-liter engine that puts out 350 hp and 740 lb.-ft. of torque. Two Allison transmissions are available.
