California Green Lights a New Era in Trucking: The International S13 Integrated Powertrain Arrives!

Big news for the California trucking industry! The revolutionary International S13 Integrated Powertrain has officially been approved for sale in the Golden State, receiving CARB Family B certification from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). This isn't just another engine; it's a game-changer that promises to deliver a powerful combination of efficiency, performance, and significantly reduced emissions.

For years, California's stringent emissions regulations have pushed the boundaries of automotive engineering. International, with its new S13 Integrated Powertrain, has not only met but exceeded these demands, proving that a robust and high-performing engine can also be incredibly clean.

What Makes the S13 Integrated Powertrain a Game-Changer?

The S13 Integrated Powertrain is a testament to advanced engineering, designed from the ground up to optimize every aspect of the drivetrain. It's not just an engine bolted to a transmission; it's a holistic system where every component works in perfect harmony to achieve maximum efficiency and performance.

Here's a glimpse of what makes it stand out:

• Integrated Design: The "integrated" in its name is key. This powertrain is engineered as a single unit, ensuring seamless communication and operation between the engine, T14 transmission, and aftertreatment system. This integration leads to better fuel economy, superior reliability, and stellar performance.
• CARB Family B Certification: This is the big one for California. Achieving this certification from CARB is a rigorous process, demonstrating the S13's ability to operate with significantly reduced NOx and particulate matter emissions. This commitment to environmental stewardship means truck owners can operate with confidence, knowing they're contributing to cleaner air while still getting the job done.
• Enhanced Fuel Economy: In today's economic climate, fuel costs are a major concern. The S13 Integrated Powertrain is engineered for exceptional fuel efficiency, translating directly into lower operating costs for fleets and owner-operators.
• Robust Performance: Don't let the focus on emissions and efficiency fool you – the S13 doesn't compromise on power. It delivers the torque and horsepower necessary to tackle the demanding routes and heavy loads characteristic of California's diverse geography. The International S13 comes with up to 515 Horsepower and 1,850lb-ft of torque.
• Reduced Maintenance: By having no EGR cooler and utilizing a fixed-geometry turbo, the S13 is built for reliability and ease of maintenance, minimizing downtime and keeping your trucks on the road where they belong.

The Impact on California Trucking

The arrival of the S13 Integrated Powertrain is significant for several reasons:

• Meeting Regulations with Confidence: Trucking companies operating in California can now invest in a cutting-edge powertrain that not only meets but surpasses the state's strict emissions standards, future-proofing their fleet.
• Economic Advantage: The combination of superior fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance costs offers a significant economic advantage, improving profitability for businesses of all sizes.
• Environmental Responsibility: For companies committed to sustainability, the S13 provides an opportunity to significantly reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to California's clean air initiatives.
