Penske will be the first U.S. fleet to take delivery of Navistar's new International eMV battery-electric medium-duty truck. Navistar and Penske Truck Leasing announced "their continued commitment to a zero-emissions future" with the delivery of the eMV series. This will mark Navistar’s first U.S. delivery of the full battery electric medium-duty trucks from International.

“We are pleased to be partnering with Penske to take delivery of five of our earliest production eMV Series full battery-electric trucks,” said Dan Kayser, Navistar group vice president for national accounts, in a news release. “This is truly a first step in our collective journey to grow the fleet of zero-emissions vehicles. These vehicles will be manufactured on the same assembly lines that currently produce International diesel-powered vehicles.”

As a validation partner, Penske plans to operate these units at various locations throughout their footprint with the intent of evaluating the operation of electric trucks in real-world situations. The company is expanding its electrified fleet and evaluating important related technologies to support a zero-emission commercial vehicle future.

First announced with a prototype in 2019, the International eMV Series battery-electric trucks made their official debut in Long Beach, California, at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo last month.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
