Power Solutions International Showcases New LP Concept Vehicle at ACT Expo
"We're very excited about the opportunity to showcase the growth of our on-highway products at this year's ACT Expo," said
PSI is jointly developing the new LP concept vehicle with Navistar International Corp., leveraging off of the success of the new propane-fueled IC Bus that both companies developed for launch this year. According to Navistar, the IC CE Series LP Bus is the first school bus specifically engineered to run on propane without sacrificing power, performance or durability.

Navistar expects the new vehicle to join its Durastar product line, providing a LP truck capable of serving a wide range of vehicle applications, including beverage and goods delivery, propane bobtails, landscape, tree care, and utility.
