International Truck offers predictive cruise control

International Truck, Lisle, Illinois, has announced it now offers predictive cruise control technology on its International ProStar and LoneStar Class 8 on-highway trucks. According to the company, this technology uses preinstalled GPS maps and the latest commercial route data to make adjustments to cruising speed without the need to predrive the route.

“Because the GPS maps and route data are already loaded, this smart technology will enable fleets and drivers to obtain greater fuel efficiency and reduced emissions right out of the box,” says Denny Mooney, senior vice president of global product development. “As a result, drivers who frequently run different routes will experience the same benefit as drivers who are used to driving a standard route.”
