Navistar will be one of the first truck manufacturers whose vehicles will be available with the TransPower electric drive system. Navistar, a leading truck manufacturer that traces its history to the founding of International Harvester in 1831, is partnered with TransPower to demonstrate electric drive systems in a fleet of Class 8 trucks in 2011. Navistar's commitment to vehicle energy efficiency is exemplified by its International® ProStar®, the industry's most fuel-efficient Class 8 truck. The ProStar®, which is also the largest selling Class 8 truck model in the U.S. and Canada, will be the first Navistar truck model equipped with the TransPower electric drive system.
