Greater engine efficiency and improved aerodynamics can deliver up to 3 percent better fuel economy than before. Specialized ratings to dial in a balance of performance and efficiency.Īll ratings use a single-canister exhaust aftertreatment system that’s 60 percent smaller and 40 percent lighter than the previous system, and is simplified for quicker servicing.

“As a result, we've made major improvements to the LoneStar in vehicle uptime performance and multiple new and improved features that enhance driver appeal." During a webcast this morning, Majors discussed LoneStar’s driver-centric improvements that include a “beautiful interior” inspired by comments received during driver clinics: "Based on this feedback, we wanted to incorporate much of what we've recently learned from drivers and focus our engineering on an all new driver-centric interior while maintaining the iconic exterior look of the truck. "Over the past decade drivers have come to love the iconic status of the LoneStar tractor's exterior styling and appearance with the distinctive grille and sloped hood that were inspired by International's D-Series trucks," Majors said. So a customer could conceivably order one for use as a dump truck or, as now, to pull construction-type trailers. LoneStar is primarily a highway model, but “in special cases, we will apply vocational specs, primarily as wreckers but certain other applications,” he said in answering a question from. It’s the latest to benefit from the Project Horizon redesign of the steel cab also used in the previously announced LT and other models. LoneStar came from the builder’s DriverFirst design philosophy, he said. For styling, LoneStar’s unique grille is retained, but new contouring has been added to the hood and fenders. “When a driver arrives in a LoneStar, it says something about him and his company,” Majors declared. Introduced in 2005, the LoneStar created an “advanced classic” segment, combining styling based on International’s D-series heavy trucks from the 1930s with modern powertrains and electronics, said David Majors, vice president, Product Development, for Navistar, International’s parent.
