Driver Delights
Overall visibility is greatly enhanced with a higher
three-piece windshield, overlapping wiper patterns,
raised entrance door, higher driver's side window,
larger rear windows and optimally located mirrors. The
result: every child is within easy view of the driver at
all times.
A wheel cut of up to 50º provides outstanding
maneuverability.
Automotive-style wiper control features five
intermediate speeds, two wash modes, more wiper coverage
and 25% longer system life. Headlights come on when
wipers are engaged, making the bus more visible in
inclement weather and helping reduce the number of tasks
the driver must perform. Wiper control is conveniently
located on the turn signal stalk.

injection system and the International® EVRT™
electronically controlled turbocharger – delivering
enhanced performance and driveability. On the VT 365,
electronic controls precisely monitor glow plug usage
and maximize effectiveness for sure start-ups down to
-20ºF.
Maintainer advantages

features an advanced self-diagnostic capability and
fewer wires and connectors. The vehicle's operation can
be monitored and diagnosed quickly from the instrument
panel, resulting in faster repairs.

located in the cluster, creating a cleaner instrument
panel and requiring less wiring.
Electrical wiring is color-coded and continuously
numbered to simplify inspections and repairs.
International engines reduce service time and cost of
ownership with features like reusable gaskets and
externally serviceable glow plugs that don't require
valve-cover removal.

performance, reliability and economy while meeting the
latest emissions standards. Choices include the
International DT 466 I-6 engine or the International VT
365 V8 engine.
