History

International introduced the ProStar in 2006 and touted the platform as the most fuel efficient truck in the Class 8 segment.^[2] Starting in 2010 the ProStar gained the +(Plus) moniker.

This name change represented physical changes to the truck that included a re-engineered overhead console, a nine percent reduction in cab noise and increased in-cab storage.^[3]
