Navistar announced the recently updated International® MV™ Series supports snowplow applications. The redesigned truck now benefits customers with a chassis configuration specifically focused on plows. It features improved packaging for easy integration and a multitude of safety features and uptime enhancements.
“The MV Series plow application opens the door for municipalities who do not have the need for larger plows,” says Chad Semler, director, product management. “The refreshed series was built with multiple applications in mind, making it a versatile vehicle capable of getting any job done.”
NEW FEATURES
International engineers designed the 14,700-lb front axle and suspension with the snowplow application in mind. The new hood, which operators and service technicians can open part way, allows for easy access for daily fluid checks. The integral front frame extension provides reinforced strength while reducing weight when compared to bolt on solutions. The design also allows for multiple configurations including hose reel and winch applications. Further, standard Intercoat® Chem Guard on floor panels and the option of Line-X® interior floor coating enhances corrosion protection.
The new cab improves driver safety and comfort with a new heated windshield feature to reduce snow and ice buildup. Diamond Logic® steering wheel controls allow for plow controls at the driver’s fingertips. The relocated stalk shifter provides room for a third occupant to sit comfortably.
With the Diamond Partner Program designed for truck equipment manufacturers (TEMs), fleets can specifically customize the MV Series snowplow application. The program creates a connection between International, dealers, and TEMs by providing body upfitter support materials and services. It also makes it easier for TEMs to integrate their equipment faster, with a higher build quality and lower costs.
“By partnering with TEMs, we are offering customers a faster, more streamlined approach to body-building and outfitting the vehicle in a way that benefits them the most,” Semler says.
