International's S13 is 2027 EPA Certified
Always looking ahead
It should come as no surprise that the International® S13® Integrated Powertrain needed only minimal updates to meet 2027 EPA standards. It was, after all, engineered with a clean sheet of paper and a long-term vision that anticipated future regulations. As a result, 90% of the powertrain's components carry over unchanged, which means your service tools, parts, technician training, and driver resources remain familiar, making the transition to the 2027 S13® Integrated Powertrain seamless.
Ready for EPA 2027
The 2027 S13 Integrated Powertrain features a double overhead cam design with Variable Valve Timing and an integrated compression release brake, along with a standardized 24V electrical architecture (alternator, starter, engine controllers), while retaining a 12V cab and electrical system for accessories and body controls. The engine, combined with the Dual Stage Aftertreatment System, is so effective at reducing emissions that neither a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst nor any EGR hardware is needed, reducing weight and complexity.
The all New S13 Integrated Powertrain
Creating such a ground-breaking powertrain requires considerable resources and deep a bench of experts. Fortunately, the TRATON GROUP has an abundance of both. By cherry-picking the very best engineers from Scania, MAN and International, the team used their combined 300 years of experience to design and develop an integrated powertrain tailored to the specific regions where it is deployed. In North America, for example, the powertrain was thoroughly road tested in extreme locations like the Rocky Mountains and Alaska. International engineers also supervise the manufacturing of the engine at the Navistar Powertrain Manufacturing plant in Huntsville, Alabama.
It starts with our new engine. Follow that up with an all new aftertreatment and then pair it all with the new T14 Transmission. The entire powertrain was designed to allow each individual component – engine, transmission and aftertreatment – to focus on doing what it does best.
