LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Navistar will be manufacturing its new S13 Integrated Powertrain at its plant in Huntsville.
The announcement came as Navistar unveiled the powertrain at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
“The International S13 Integrated Powertrain sets an industry standard for efficiency, profitability and sustainability,” said Mathias Carlbaum, Navistar CEO. “Not only is it the most efficient powertrain we have ever produced, but it is also a major milestone in our journey to zero-emissions transportation.”
Developed over five years, Navistar said the powertrain will provide operating economy, stellar performance, and simplicity and serviceability to the North American commercial vehicle market.
The powertrain was designed with a modular system approach. These systems allow for mass customization of broad variant offerings and ensure a long-term competitive advantage. This equates to faster time to market and lower production costs, Navistar said.
The Traton Group modular system enables cross-brand development and production. This is the first group-wide demonstration of a modular solution.
