Overview
Commercial-Grade Strength, Neighborhood Size
The International® CV™ Series brings true commercial-grade engineering to the Class 5/6 market. With up to 350 hp and a high-strength frame rail, commercial-grade transmission and braking, and optional air suspension, the CV is among the most capable trucks of its size.
It is sized for tight jobsites and narrow streets but built like its bigger International siblings. Straight frame rails with a clean cab-to-axle make body mounting simple for landscape dumps, service bodies, wreckers, ambulances, and box trucks.
Durability testing went from the heights of the Rockies to the Arizona desert and the cold of Alaska. And because it is an International, the CV is backed by diesel technicians across a network of more than 1,000 dealer locations, including Artex.
