“Offering standard air disc brakes on the HV Series and HX Series is part of our uptime promise to build trucks with the latest safety technologies, that stay on the road and that drivers want to drive,” said Mark Stasell, vice president, Vocational Truck, International Truck.

As part of International Truck’s commitment to providing safe and reliable trucks, the Bendix ADB22X disc brake from Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC features a lightweight air disc brake design that allows for increased payload, helps reduce stopping distance considerably and extends brake system life. Rated for severe service, the ADB22X also offers the advantages of quicker pad replacement and longer pad life, leading to greater uptime and lower maintenance costs, according to International.

Both the HV Series and HX Series are purpose-built to deliver uptime for a full range of severe service applications, the OEM stated. Redesigned from the inside out, the HV Series interior was crafted with driver feedback to ensure a comfortable and productive environment. The HV Series features the intelligence of the industry-leading Diamond Logic electrical system for the automation of tasks and interlocks to help protect both equipment and crew. For a look at both the HV and HX Series, powered by the International A26 engine, (along with the rest of International’s lineup), watch the FE Video below:
