FROM CONCRETE TO CURBSIDE:
WHY INTERNATIONAL VOCATIONAL
TRUCKS RULE THE JOBSITE

To succeed in the utility, construction, government or refuse industries, you need the right truck for your business. Your vocational/work truck must be tough, reliable, versatile and, most importantly, specifically tailored to the unique needs of the job. The right chassis platform serves as the foundation.

Every commercial truck comparison hinges on two factors: The vehicle’s capability and its ease of customization.

The upfit-ready International® medium-duty and severe-duty lineup—MV™ Series, HV™ Series, and HX® Series—prioritize vocational compatibility. Whatever your industry demands, these trucks adapt to your work and perform under pressure.

Because we know you don’t have time for delays, we designed our International trucks to make integrating your equipment smooth and simple. You’ll find upfit-friendly features like:

• Pre-drilled mounting points on the frame that enable chassis cab upfitters to easily bolt on accessories and equipment from Truck Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs)
  
  
• Modular wiring harnesses that directly integrate with your truck
  
  
• Orderable optional features like remote power modules, switches, and functions tailored to your vocation

When routine upfits aren’t enough, International Specialty Centers bridge the gap between your integration/chassis upfitter and our factory engineering. We ensure your custom modifications meet rigorous axle load limits and safety standards without compromising the truck's core design. The result? A job-ready and fully compliant vehicle.

The Diamond Logic® electrical system from International comes standard on HX, HV and MV Series vehicles. This smart, streamlined system links directly to vehicle controls for seamless connectivity between upfit equipment and the truck. No need to install expensive, messy and complex aftermarket wiring harnesses. With it, you benefit from faster upfitting, lower lifecycle costs and greater productivity.

The customizable in-cab switches link you directly to body functions and control equipment without leaving the driver’s seat. Powered by Diamond Logic, these smart controls automate vital safety measures. By preventing gear shifts during boom and other operations, the system eliminates human error and keeps crews and equipment safe.

Here's how our three vocational truck lines help you accomplish more:

The HX Series Class 8 construction truck tackles the most grueling worksite challenges with ease. With a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of up to 92,000 lb., this severe-duty machine builds, hauls, and dumps without ever breaking a sweat.

• Excellent Durability: Whether you’re working in a rock quarry or building a new highway, the HX Series nimbly handles every bit of off-road abuse. This Class 8 truck features an extreme-duty, high-strength galvanized steel cab with anti-corrosion finishes like ChemGuard. This robustness withstands the constant abrasion and corrosive materials of construction and heavy-haul applications.

• Make Yourself Comfortable: The HX Series interior prioritizes driver comfort and alertness on long, rough rides. The best-in-category door opening width simplifies exit and entry. For maximum support on rough terrain, the available premium-level Diamond Elite seat features a built-in shock absorber and active seat ventilation, offering precision adjustments to fit every body type.

• Stay Alert Longer: The HX Series helps reduce driver fatigue with the quietest interior sound levels for the vehicle class at idle and governed RPM.

• Visibility Equals Safety: Safety starts with seeing. The HX Series gives drivers a commanding view of worksites and the road, providing the best specs in these visibility categories:
• Driver Side Rear
• Driver Side Forward
• Forward Left Side
• Forward Right Side

• Ready to Mix It Up: The HX Series easily transforms into the perfect mixer thanks to purposeful engineering. We strategically positioned the cross-members to simplify PTO pump installation and included transition brackets. These factory-installed brackets allow for seamless mounting of after-frame inverted cross members for booster axle ram clearance.

• Crane-Capable Design: This design includes customized frame ladder and component locations to meet body packaging requirements, available integral front frame extensions, and high strength single ½” thick, 3.5 million RBM straight rail for high-capacity applications.

• Dump Trucks That Deliver: Built to haul with a ½” thick, 3.5 million RBM single rail, the HX Series is ready for your load with factory-installed lift axles and many chassis packaging options to fit your needs.
  
   

The HV Series is the go-to severe-duty platform for municipal government and construction applications. This versatile powerhouse excels in demanding roles like refuse collection, concrete mixing, and snow plowing. Whether you’re navigating tight city streets or managing heavy utility truck operations, the HV Series delivers the durability your fleet requires.

• Equipped for Anything: The powerful HV Series offers a solid Class 7/8 foundation for truck for plows, mixers, booms, and cranes. By leveraging the upfit-friendly Diamond Logic electrical system, you can program automated tasks and control equipment directly from the dashboard. This integrated intelligence streamlines your workflow, making equipment operation safer and more intuitive for your crew.
  
  
• See More and Stay Safe: The HV Series features a sloped hood and panoramic windshield for a comprehensive view of the worksite and road. This visibility allows operators to quickly spot people and obstacles, improving jobsite safety. At 1,909 square inches, the spacious windshield is the largest in the vehicle category.
  
  
• Keep Things Clear, Comfy and Quiet: The HV Series interior remains calm and clear regardless of weather conditions. Its best-in-class HVAC system defogs windows faster, ensuring a safe view. The HV Series, with the quietest interior sound level at governed RPM in its category, also helps reduce noise stress for drivers.
  
  
• Easy In, Easy Out: The HV Series features the widest door opening in its class, making cab entering and exiting the cab easier for drivers. This category-leading width reduces physical strain and facilitates a safer, more efficient transition between the cab and jobsite.
  
  
• Built to Outlast Corrosion: The HV Series repels corrosion with the same high-strength galvanized steel panels and ChemGuard as the HX Series. Opting for the optional spray in liner and stainless-steel oil pan equips your fleet with an extra layer of defense against the corrosive environments inherent in municipal and refuse applications.
  
  
• Factory-Installed Equals Faster Delivery: International simplifies the path to the job site by installing PTOs and lift axles on the assembly line. This factory integration ensures that your HV Series meets all technical and registration requirements before it arrives. The result? Faster delivery, lower costs, and zero upfitting headaches.

The MV Series powers a wide range of municipal utility, and delivery applications. From bucket and dump trucks to snowplows, this versatile, medium-duty platform easily adapts to your fleet’s specific needs.

The MV Series excels in medium-duty roles through these core advantages:

• Enhanced comfort, visibility, and safety: The MV series features an industry-leading HVAC system and many optional factory installed functions and systems (Fusion, BlindSpotter, etc.).
  
  
• Expansive cab interior: This model leads its class in belly room, hip-level width, and legroom. These ergonomic measurements, paired with ample storage, keep drivers comfortable and organized throughout their workday.
  
  
• Effortless entry and exit: The MV Series features the largest door opening width in its class.
  
  
• Superior visibility and safety: Best-in-class forward views (straight ahead and over center) help operators spot obstacles quickly. The optional hood mirrors and integrated safety systems further enhance direct and indirect visibility.
  
  
• Engineered for customization: A wide variety of upfit options—customizable switches, remote power modules and optional front frame extensions—allow for precise vehicle tailoring.
  
  
• Extended vehicle life: Enhanced optional corrosion protection across the cab and frame delivers long-term durability in harsh environments.
