One of the first awards for the category – defining new International LoneStar may make other truck manufacturers “green” with envy. LoneStar joins the International ProStar, the most fuel efficient Class of truck on the market, with this environmental designation. Looking forward to working with the EPA to continue to improve the environmental performance of our commercial trucks, diesel engines and buses. International LoneStar proved to be as aerodynamic as competitors’ most stream-lined trucks, and LoneStar is far more aerodynamic than other “classic” trucks. Superior aerodynamics plays a major role in improving an on-highway truck’s fuel efficiency. LoneStar was designed with fuel efficiency as a top priority.

The aerodynamic design of LoneStar’s bumper, hood, windshield and side skirts can save truck drivers significant amounts of fuel. As today’s diesel prices reach record highs, developing more fuel-efficient and environmentally responsible trucks is necessary to keep operating costs down for customers and to curtail each truck’s carbon footprint. Eligibility for the SmartWay truck certification is based on a comprehensive set of fuel-saving, low-emission equipment specifications for new Class of long-haul tractors.

Several design elements of LoneStar provide dramatic aerodynamic performance that leads to superior fuel efficiency. The SmartWay program is a voluntary partnership between freight industry sectors and the EPA which establishes recognition and incentives for fuel efficiency improvements and reductions to greenhouse gas emissions. LoneStar joins the International ProStar, the most fuel efficient Class of truck on the market, with this environmental designation. LoneStar is the first classic-styled Class of truck to receive this honor. LoneStar and ProStar are changing the game in Class of trucking.
