Navistar, Cummins reach milestone of 10,000 orders

Lisle-baed Navistar today announced it has secured more than 10,000 orders for International Trucks powered by the Cummins ISX15 engine and Cummins SCR aftertreatment system.

The announcement comes seven months after the reintroduction of the industry leading truck and engine combination.

“The International ProStar with ISX has a strong reputation within the industry and we are seeing increased interest for this configuration across our key segments,” said Bill Kozek, president of Navistar’s North American Truck and Parts division.

In addition to availability in International’s ProStar model, the engine was also relaunched in the International PayStar 5900 Set-Back Axle and the International  9900i in April of this year.

Navistar has received orders from a number of the industry’s largest for hire and leasing fleets, including Knight, Penske, Ryder and Swift. In July, the company reported on-highway class 8 order share at its highest level in three years.

“Increasing acceptance from our large fleet customers who conduct rigorous analysis prior to purchase is evidence of the value our vehicles deliver,” added Kozek.

Navistar launched its transition to SCR-based technology with the Cummins ISX15 engine in late December 2012. The majority of configuration options for SCR-powered International heavy-duty vehicle models are nearing completion throughout the month of August.
