If you keep up on the latest in the ambulance industry, you’ve probably heard about the new TerraStar chassis from International. The ambulance industry is buzzing about it… and so are we! If you haven’t heard about all the great features the TerraStar chassis has to offer, keep reading. This chassis should be a serious contender for anyone looking to purchase a new ambulance or remount an old one.
The  class 4/5 TerraStar chassis from International comes from 100 years of commercial-duty truck experience. It was designed to meet the three pillars of commercial-duty performance: 1.) commercial-grade components, 2.) ease of operation, 3.) efficient power. Its 80,000 PSI frame rails rank best-in-class. It also features a huck-bolted frame and an Allison 1000 transmission.
The TerraStar is extremely easy to operate, which is important for any ambulance crew looking to reach a scene quickly and safely. It has the largest cab in its class with 30% more room for your ambulance crew than the competition. In addition, it has the best-in-class visibility – 38% better than the leading competitor. This is a big benefit and one that every department should consider when purchasing a new ambulance and determining which chassis to place it on.
Lastly, the TerraStar offers truly efficient power. It has the all-new 300-hp MaxxForce7, an engine purpose-built for medium duty. It also features MaxxForce Advanced EGR, the only no-hassle, no liquid urea solution for 2010 emissions.
