Beginning next year, International will offer its expanded line of on-highway engines under the MaxxForce International Diesel Power brand.

International said the MaxxForce product line will range from a four-cylinder 2.8-liter engine up to the company’s new offerings in the 11- to 13-liter class. MaxxForce engine-powered International brand commercial trucks in North America will offer air- and fuel-management technologies and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems with the addition of advanced aftertreatment systems, necessary to deliver uncompromised performance while meeting stringent 2007 U.S. EPA emissions standards for diesel engines, the company said. The global MaxxForce line of diesels includes models for markets under European environmental regulations as well as models for stricter U.S. EPA standards.

According to the engine maker, the new brand also reflects stepped-up global sales and marketing efforts by International to grow business in Asia, India and Eastern Europe. The International Engine Group is expanding its engine product offerings with the addition of new big bore products developed in collaboration with MAN Nutzfahrzeuge, headquartered in Germany, and with the recent acquisition and formation of MWM-International in South America.

The engines will be broadly available beginning with the company’s 2007 model-year Class 3 through Class 8 International commercial trucks, backed by the existing International dealer service network with 900 locations in North America and dealers in 48 countries around the globe, the OE said.
