At the upcoming ACT Expo 2025, U.S.-based truck maker International (former Navistar, part of the TRATON Group) will introduce the International eRH Series, a new all-electric Class 8 regional haul tractor. The new truck will be available in 4×2 and 6×4 axle configurations, and offers a range of up to 300 miles, depending on configuration, battery capacity, and use.

“We are excited to add the eRH to serve International’s Class 8 battery-electric customers,” said Justina Morosin, senior vice president, Sales and Field Operations, International. “This new solution perfectly complements our current battery-electric vehicle lineup and underscores our commitment to innovation.”

International’s new electric truck: some technical specs

Built on the proven foundation of the diesel-powered RH Series, the eRH is optimized for productivity in local and regional haul applications. It features a 113” bumper to back of cab (BBC) measurement for optimized forward visibility, as well as leading wheelbases for tight turning radius. These, along with the Bendix Fusion integrated driver assistance system, provides for safer road operations. The ergonomic design provides ample space and conveniently grouped switches for ease of use.

The eRH comes with lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery configuration options ranging from 300kWh to 500kWh usable battery capacity, providing high energy density in a compact space. This also allows the eRH to come packaged with low curb weight, which maximizes payload and profit for the customer. Additionally, the tandem and single eAxle configurations reduce the complexity and maximize efficiency of the vehicle drivetrain. Series production of the eRH will start in the first half of 2026.
