Military Vehicle for the 21st Century Demonstrated on the
Hill
International to Showcase Lower Cost, High-Tech Truck
WHAT: Members of Congress and congressional staff will join
International Truck and Engine Corporation, the commercial market
leader in medium duty trucks and the worldwide leader in three-to-
nine liter diesel engines, for a walkaround demonstration on
Capitol Hill of the International(R) 4200 MV -- the latest
technology in armored logistics trucks.
The International 4200 MV features:
* 360-degree armored protection integrated into the cab
* Cab configuration and armor that is customizable based on
mission requirements
* Best-in-class cab that seats up to six fully equipped soldiers
* V8 engine delivering 230 horsepower and 540 ft-lbs torque
* State-of-the-art telematics
* Global parts supply
* Low maintenance and operating cost
WHY: International demonstrates the benefits of a commercially based
platform for military vehicles, including the latest commercial
technology and lower procurement costs based on greater scale of
production.
The International 4200 MV addresses the demands of today's
soldiers who require durable, reliable vehicles that offer greater
protection. Sensors located throughout the vehicle allow various
types of prognostics to let command centers identify and prevent
problems. International's cutting-edge technology also can
remotely monitor and diagnose vehicle performance and help the
command center know in real time a vehicle's location via wireless
or satellite communication.
*Real-time demonstrations of telematics for the military will be
conducted.
