International WorkStar with Sloped Hood Option

Navistar introduced several new features for its International® WorkStar® line of severe service trucks at CONEXPO-CON/AGG. Along with an all-new high visibility sloped hood option, the new WorkStar model will also include a completely refined interior with ergonomic enhancements and improved driver comfort features.

“With the new sloped hood, WorkStar is now available in a comprehensive range of specifications to meet the diverse needs of our vocational truck customers,” said Jim Hebe, Navistar’s senior vice president, North American sales operations. “Together with the improved visibility and interior enhancements, the WorkStar provides an added level of comfort and convenience that allows these vocational truck drivers to do their jobs safely and effectively.”

The new sloped hood option on WorkStar provides best-in-class visibility for the driver. In addition, a strong vocational “mega-bracket” design inspired from the International PayStar® 5900 Set-Back Axle supports the radiator and front-end.
The International WorkStar 7600 with high visibility sloped hood option features a 113” BBC for maximum maneuverability on the worksite. It provides the best-in-class visibility for the driver. It is available in 4x2 and 6x4 axle configurations and a choice of REPTO and transmission mounted PTO.

In addition to the high visibility sloped hood option, the International WorkStar also features a completely redesigned and refined interior designed with the construction customer in mind.

The new WorkStar interior features premium rosewood trim on the dashboard and instrument panel, an ergonomic center panel for easy access to auxiliary truck and body control switches, and hands-on steering wheel controls for enhanced driver safety.
