Posted Tests Confirm International ProStar Saves Customers $5,800 in Fuel Annually Over Leading Competitor
Warrenville,ILL,USA -Truck Net, by Craig Zwiener -May 7, 2008: -- Record diesel prices are driving on-highway trucking customers to look for every edge to curb fuel costs, beginning with their choice of truck... Navistar today released definitive results of extensive testing confirming that the International® ProStar™ is the most aerodynamic and fuel-efficient Class 8 truck on the road... Recent tests demonstrate that the International ProStar is 7.3 percent more aerodynamic and 7 percent more fuel-efficient than Freightliner’s Cascadia, ProStar’s closest competitor. Overcoming aerodynamic resistance is particularly important for on-highway trucks, as is a fuel-efficient power train... This margin of leadership translates into substantial savings. Whether operated as part of a company’s fleet of trucks or by an owner-operator, Class 8 trucks rack up a lot of highway miles each year consuming large amounts of diesel fuel. At 120,000 miles a year, each ProStar can save approximately $5,800 annually in fuel over its nearest competitor...

This video shows some of the great new features for this vehicle)
