International Motors Unveils the eRH Series

In an exciting move towards sustainable transportation, International Motors, LLC has introduced its latest electric vehicle, the eRH Series, making waves in the commercial trucking industry. This all-electric Class 8 regional haul tractor is designed for heavy-duty fleets, offering a range of features that optimize performance and efficiency, making it an attractive option for companies looking to transition to electric-powered transport.

Key Features of the eRH Series

The eRH Series is built to cater to regional haul and drayage applications, ensuring both versatility and high productivity. Available in 4x2 and 6x4 axle configurations, this electric truck boasts an impressive range of up to 300 miles per charge, depending on factors such as battery capacity and specific usage conditions. It is tailored for businesses aiming to reduce their carbon footprint while still achieving robust operational capabilities.

Justina Morosin, the Senior Vice President of Sales and Field Operations at International, expressed enthusiasm for the new addition, highlighting how it complements the existing lineup of battery-electric vehicles. Morosin stated, "This new solution perfectly complements our current battery-electric vehicle lineup and underscores our commitment to innovation."

Designed for Safety and Comfort

The eRH Series is built on the established framework of the diesel-powered RH Series, enriched with enhancements that promote safety and comfort on the road. With a 113-inch bumper-to-back-of-cab (BBC) measurement, it ensures optimized forward visibility. Furthermore, its industry-leading wheelbases contribute to a tight turning radius, making it manageable for drivers in urban settings. Along with the advanced Bendix Fusion integrated driver assistance system, these features aim to enhance safety during transport.

Michael Grahe, Executive Vice President of Research and Development, emphasized the team's dedication during the development process. "Our teams have been working hand in hand with our customers throughout this development process to ensure that the eRH meets the demands of their business today while adapting to the future landscape of commercial transportation."

Advanced Battery Options and Efficient Performance

The eRH Series is equipped with versatile battery configurations, featuring lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) batteries with usable capacities ranging from 300kWh to 500kWh. This design not only supports high energy density within a compact area but also assists in reducing the overall curb weight of the vehicle. The outcome is an increased payload capacity, maximizing profits for fleet operators.

One of the standout attributes of the eRH is the introduction of tandem and single eAxle configurations. This advancement simplifies the vehicle's drivetrain complexity and enhances operational efficiency, leading to lower total operating costs. Additionally, the truck provides three levels of driver-selectable regenerative braking, enabling increased range and customization based on the driver's preferences.

Support and Financing Options

International Motors is committed to supporting customers in their transition to electric fleets. Services offered include consulting for infrastructure readiness, onboarding, and grant support, ensuring a seamless shift to electric vehicle operations. To facilitate the financial aspect, International Financial provides competitive loan and lease options for electric trucks, chargers, and traditional vehicles. They even offer a unique payment program making service contracts financially accessible for businesses exploring electric options.

Production of the eRH Series is set to commence in the first half of 2026, with significant interest expected at industry events such as the upcoming ACT Expo, where attendees can experience the eRH firsthand. As public awareness of sustainable transportation grows, International Motors stands poised to be a leader in the electric vehicle market, striving to create a cleaner and safer world for future generations.

With a steadfast commitment to innovation and sustainability, International Motors continues to pave the way for the electrification of the trucking industry, ensuring their customers not only adapt to change but thrive in it.
