MaxxForce Engines with SCR-Based Aftertreatment Receive EPA Approval

Late last year, International ProStar Class 8 Trucks equipped with 15-liter Cummins ISX engines began rolling of assembly lines. Since that time, Navistar has been keeping customers up-to-date on its plans to incorporate Cummins SCR-based aftertreatment technology into MaxxForce engines.

This month, International announced news promising the immanent realization of this strategy: the US Environmental Protection Agency has issued certification for MaxxForce 13-liter engines with SCR-based aftertreatment. The ProStars equipped with the new MaxxForce engines will allow Navistar to offer a complete line of heavy duty trucks that meet 2010 CA emissions standards.

According to Jack Allen, Navistar’s executive vice president and COO, the first ProStar trucks with 13-liter, emissions-compliant MaxxForce engines will be available by the end of this month.
