LONG BEACH, Calif.,
Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
Navistar announced today the launch of the new fully-electric
International® eMV™ Series trucks. The International eMV
is the result of Navistar's commitment to safe, reliable, zero
emissions solutions that improve customer total cost of ownership
(TCO) and deliver on value-added business objectives.
The International eMV is designed to tackle everyday use, built
to the same rigorous standards as the trusted diesel International
MV™ Series truck. With thoughtful design for improved visibility
and maneuverability, the eMV is ideal for any straight rail
application. It is available in four different wheelbase options –
217", 236", 254" and 272" – and features the Diamond
Logic® electrical system as standard equipment.
"Our team has worked tirelessly to build an all-electric
medium-duty vehicle solution that offers our customers all the
environmental benefits of a zero emissions vehicle, while
delivering the capabilities of a traditional medium-duty truck to
help you take care of business," said Debbie Shust, Vice President Medium-Duty Truck,
Navistar. "Rolling off our production lines now, we are proud to
offer the International eMV complete with inclusive consultation
services provided by our specialized NEXT eMobility Solutions team
to ensure seamless integration of electric vehicles into customer
fleets."
Integrated Electric Charging and Battery Life
The new
eMV combines Navistar's decades of medium-duty truck experience
with the expertise of its zero emissions team, NEXT eMobility
Solutions to deliver a fully integrated electrified powertrain and
complete ecosystem solution.
Designed to get the job done right, the eMV's battery electric
motor provides peak power of over 335 horsepower or 250 kilowatts,
with continuous power of 215 HP or 160 kW. The eMV has a 210kW
capacity high voltage battery that provides a 135-mile range when
fully charged. Batteries are packages between the frame rails for
additional protection and under warranty for five years or 100,000
miles. The eMV is also equipped with three levels of regenerative
braking, allowing the vehicle to collect kinetic energy from
braking and store it in the battery for use. To ensure the driver
has complete awareness of the eMV's operational status, a
state-of-the-art digital instrument cluster includes information on
propulsion and regenerative load, state of charge indicator and
regenerative braking indicator.
The International eMV also offers both AC and DC charging
capabilities as standard equipment to allow customers to choose the
best option for their fleets. The recommended Level 2 AC charging
station is suitable for overnight charging and provides roughly
19.2 kW of power. The DC Fast Charge station option provides up to
125 kilowatt hours of power. The Fast Charge station also has the
capability to provide multiple power options. At its highest kWh
input, it can provide a full charge to the eMV in under two
hours.
The impressive design, maneuverability and comfortable drive is
supported throughout the entire electric vehicle lifecycle by the
International dealer network – the strongest in the industry.
Total Ownership Experience
Navistar recognizes the
adoption of zero emissions vehicles is not a one size fits all
solution and aims to assist customers in developing an eMobility
business model that delivers on business objectives while realizing
clean commercial transport.
In addition to the strong dealer network and support that
International has always provided, NEXT eMobility Solutions acts as
a resource for customers, providing all-inclusive zero emissions
education and assistance beginning at buyer consultation and
continuing through vehicle end of life. NEXT provides support
throughout the entire fleet electrification process including
vehicle charging complexities like requirements for proper
charging, suitable infrastructure partners, charging installations
and collaborations with local power companies to ensure adequate
power is available for vehicle charging.
"The entire Navistar team is proud of our progress in eMobility
and our thoughtful approach on accelerating the adoption of zero
emissions vehicles," said Gary
Horvat, vice president, eMobility. "We are centered around
providing a complete ecosystem solution that will allow our
customers to seamlessly integrate our EVs into their fleets and are
confident the eMV will provide an extremely positive total
ownership experience."
Navistar will have its electric vehicles on display at the 2021
ACT Expo at the Long Beach
Convention Center located in Long Beach,
California August 30 –
September 2. The International eMV
Series will be on display in booth 1435 and the IC Bus Electric CE
