Currently INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER is one of the largest manufacturers of diesel engines of the middle class (Class 7) capacity from 175 to 300 hp. In 1928, INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER created trucks with two-speed rear axle and was one of the first manufacturers to offer such a constructive alternative. In addition, in 1928, INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER released the prototype of the diesel engine. In 1934, foreign Lorries working angular shape was replaced by a more streamlined and aerodynamic. By 1936 the production of six-wheeled truck Cornbinders was in full swing, it received the same name and logo, which was mounted on trucks company INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER. In the period from 1938 to 1940, there were a series of car «D», after which they started producing series of “K”. Trucks of series “K” were used extensively during the Second World War and remained popular in the postwar years.

In 1946, INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER showed serious intentions to enter the U.S. market of trucks category Class 8 , for this purpose a series of cars have been undergone to a massive increase in the size and characteristics. Enlarged three-axle truck was equipped with a gasoline engine Continental, or diesel Cummins. Plants for the production of trucks were in Emerville, Calif., and Fort Wayne, Indiana. In the mid 80-ies INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER released a series of 8300, which tractors had a new cabin design, made in a streamlined style and equipped with a flat solid windshield. For the needs of the market, this car was also converted into the category of Class 7 by a proportional reduction in size without changing shape.

In 1968 it began producing more severe CO-4070A with a more powerful and economical diesel engine. By 1974, a model SB-4070V was created – the first car with the emblem Transtar. By 1981, the model SB-9670 replaces Transtar. More modern cars of series 4300 with the standard layout of the booths have become very popular. This series actually has arisen in the 70′s, but was prepared to produce only in the 80′s. Around 1980, INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER began experiencing very serious difficulties. Prolonged strike 1979-1980 GG caused damage to production and the agricultural crisis in 1980 has complicated the matter, citing a sharp decline in sales of agricultural equipment. The decision of the federal government to limit toxicity and enhance specific characteristics of automobile engines has put on knees the company. February 20, 1986 INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER adopted a new name NAVISTAR and sold its producing agricultural machinery Case-Tenneco, which insisted on retaining the original logo INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER.

The loss of units of agricultural machinery could be happy in some sort of hidden meaning, because NAVISTAR definitely return to continue making a serious bid for sale of trucks Category Class 7 and Class 8. Currently, the plant in Chatham, Ontario in Canada, it continues to produce both conventional trucks and specialized equipment for construction. The company experienced serious difficulties for some time, but adjusted their affairs and remained on its feet, thus proving its strength. INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER released the truck more than any other manufacturers of this equipment, and intends to continue the production of such trucks in the future.
