LIGHTEN UP with the New A26 Engine.

It’s time to LIGHTEN UP with the new A26 engine. 

International set out to create an engine that would redefine the industry standard for uptime by using a more simplified, modern design built from proven components. This efficient design has allowed the new engine to shed weight to become the lightest engine in its class, weighing in at 2,299 pounds.

You don’t get an engine that’s 600-700 pounds lighter by accident. Every component of this engine was designed to reduce weight an increase uptime. Here are a just a few of the specific steps taken to reduce weight:

• The Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) crankcase has greater strength and fatigue resistance than traditional gray iron for thinner walls, reduced weight, and maximized payload.
• Valve covers are built of a durable, lightweight composite instead of aluminum.
• The shot peened aluminum flywheel housing delivers high strength with impressive weight savings over traditional iron flywheel housings.
• The simple, single stage design of the turbocharger eliminates several major components, reducing weight and complexity.

Not only is this engine the lightest engine in its class, but it’s also been tested well beyond industry standard. It was pushed in the lab, with hundreds of thousands of hours of “key life” and dyno tests at extreme engine speeds and engine loads. Then we pushed it in the real world, covering millions of miles in our reliability test fleet over harsh roads. Through the most grueling environments designed to break the toughest engines, what impressed us the most is how every component of the A26 refused to fail.
