Top 100: Reaching for 2004 Emissions

International was exempt from emissions limits imposed on most diesel manufacturers October 1, but they were first to sell an engine with cooled exhaust-gas recirculation—the VT 365. In addition to EGR, the four-valve V8 that replaced the T 444E unveiled International's second-generation electro-hydraulic injection. And a variable-geometry turbocharger reduces turbo lag. It can be certified as a low-emission vehicle to meet Clean Fuel Fleet Vehicle requirements. Four ratings peak at 230 horsepower and 620 foot-pounds of torque. Estimated price for an International 4200 truck powered by a VT 365 engine: $36,000 to $40,000.
