Morrow’s 2023-model VNL760, dubbed “Purple Haze,” usually pulls vans carrying new furniture and averages more than 10 mpg. But it might also work well hitched to a flatbed toting pipe or building materials or a hopper loaded with aggregates. The Volvo’s aerodynamic lines, also used on nonsleeper models, reduce air drag at highway speeds. The I-Torque powertrain includes a D13TC, a 14-speed I-Shift, 2.16 to 1 axle ratio, and a 6x2 axle layout with a liftable pusher axle in the tandem.

Features are similar to diesel version

Viper red Class 7 eMV poses with a Cummins diesel-powered MV, International’s popular Medium Vocational model, at the Navistar Proving Grounds in Indiana. Cabs, frames, and suspensions are shared between the two otherwise dissimilar vehicles, though eMV’s gauge cluster is digital (inset). The drive system is taken from Navistar’s proven IC electric school buses. The eMV’s range is 135 miles, depending on operations, and the goal for future models is 200 miles. A Class 6 version for non-CDL drivers is also offered.
