Predecessor | International DuraStar |
The International MV Series is a medium-duty Class 6/7 truck produced by Navistar International since 2018. Introduced as the successor to the DuraStar, the MV Series is slotted below the International Transtar regional-haul semitractor and above the Class 5 International CV.
Production
[edit]In line with revisions to International Class 8 product lines, the MV Series introduced a number of updates to the cab interior.[1] Externally distinguished by larger doors and side windows, the quarter windows of the DuraStar were replaced with a single-piece side window with a lower windowsill. The dashboard underwent extensive changes, with the previous instrument panel replaced by a reconfigurable digital display.[1]
The International MV Series continues its use of Cummins diesel engines, with the Cummins B6.7 and L9 offered, depending on configuration.[1]
In 2021, the MV Series was updated with a redesigned hood and bumper.[2]
Models
[edit]The MV is available in two models; the MV607 and the MV60H (Lo-Profile). The 607 has an overall height of 67.7 in. and the 60H has an overall height of 62.8 in.
Bus
[edit]The cowled bus chassis variant of the MV was unveiled on July 14, 2023 for the 2025 model year to replace the DuraStar-based International 3300 after 19 years of its production since 2004. The chassis is exclusively bodied by International's subsidiary IC Bus. As of 2025 production, the MV-based bus chassis is available exclusively in diesel and electric powertrain options, dropping the gasoline and propane options from the previous DuraStar-based chassis.
Electric variant (eMV)
[edit]In 2021, Navistar announced a battery electric variant of the MV Series, the eMV.[3] Navistar and Penske both announced on October 11, 2021, that Penske would be the first fleet in the United States to operate the eMV.[4]
