International Truck announced at The Work Truck Show 2016 the availability of the International DuraStar and WorkStar models powered by the Cummins ISL9 engine.

"Adding the Cummins ISL9 to our lineup is a key part of our strategy to offer the most comprehensive options of proven components in the industry to our customers," says Bill Kozek, President, Truck and Parts. "The addition of the Cummins ISL9 to DuraStar and WorkStar models provides customers with a winning combination of uptime, performance and durability."

The Cummins 9-liter engine now expands the DuraStar and WorkStar models' robust powertrain options. The ISL9, which is rated up to 380 hp and 1,250 lbs.-ft. of torque, features flexible horsepower and torque ratings for medium-duty and vocational applications.

"Cummins and International have worked closely together to engineer the ISL9 in the DuraStar and WorkStar - offering a unique value package combination of performance and reliability," adds Kozek. "With the launch of the ISL9, we continue to focus on meeting the needs of our customers by delivering innovative, best-in-class products for a wide range of applications."
