MaxxForce 7 Goes WorkHorse

Looks like Workhorse chassis, a GM company is going to be using the new Maxxforce 7 (6.4) diesel.

Workhorse has come up with a gas-pusher motorhome chassis, and they are going to offer it with the choice of three engines: GM's 8.1 gas, International 6.4 diesel (Maxxforce 7) and the Cummins 6.7 diesel.

Here are the specs.

dug into the international site, found this off the www.maxxforce.com wbe site.

Quote:

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 proven 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.

Sounds like there is a whole line up of the engines, right down to something small enough to stick a Ranger, could it be that this is the diesel(not the 4 banger) for the F150 is in the works also?

Well now we know what international calls the engine.

'Workhorse' is G.M.'s old motorhome and step van chassis business. G.M. spun it off about 10 years ago, and last year International bought the business.
