Manufacturing
The ProStar® was formerly built at the Chatham, Ontario plant, but the plant has been shuttered in 2009. Since 2009, ProStar® production is spread to two North America plants, Springfield, Ohio and Escobedo, Mexico).[1]
History
International® introduced the ProStar® in 2006 and touted the platform as the most fuel efficient truck in the Class 8 segment.[2] Starting in 2010 the ProStar® gained the +(Plus) moniker.
This name change represented physical changes to the truck that included a re-engineered overhead console, a nine percent reduction in cab noise and increased in-cab storage.[3]
