Over the past two years, International has introduced a new or refreshed product every 4 to 6 months, giving the Lisle, Ill.-based truck-maker the distinction of featuring the industry’s newest truck lineup.
Navistar continued its tractor reinvention with the debut of the driver-centric HV Series severe service truck.
“Imagine [an interior] space that works for drivers operating these kinds of trucks,” Denny Mooney, Navistar senior vice president of product development, says of the truck’s driver-centric design.
“All the design features in this cab were driven by feedback from more than 100 [vocational customers],” adds Mark Stasel, Navistar vice president of vocational trucks.
The truck, Mooney says, was designed “from the inside out” for increased driver comfort, but in the “inside out” design, the inside got more attention than the outside of the reworked WorkStar.
“One of the things we didn’t change was the hood and the grille,” he adds.
