The versatile International 7000-MV platform features a recovery vehicle that can be used for multiple purposes. The 7000-MV Recovery Vehicle off-road truck is equipped with a crane for vehicle recovery and lifting of heavy equipment.
The International 7000-MV is powered by the same heavy-duty turbo-charged diesel engine that’s made a name tackling gravel pits, landfills and rugged construction sites. Plus, it offers up to a 50-degree wheel cut for a tighter turning radius. A proven performer in the commercial and military world, the 7000-MV is a hard-working model of efficiency that’s being used in Iraq and Afghanistan today as a general troop transporter; wrecker; water tanker; petroleum, oil and lubricant vehicle; and hazardous material truck.
