Following the initial testing phase, the required system design modifications were selected and prototype systems were obtained and installed in such manner as to allow iteration of key parameters and to dial in the resultant performance levels.

These system installations were then benchmark tested and analyzed to ensure that the final design would provide the targeted balance of ride and handling portions of the Driveability initiative and the manner in which the best possible balance of these attributes was determined and obtained. The first step in the process was to determine the desired metrics of the program and measure the characteristics of competitive as well as our own current production and preprototype High Performance Vehicles HPV.

In parallel with this benchmarking effort, several design option levels were developed which gave us the ability to progressively modify and improve our systems to achieve the desired performance targets derived from the benchmarking effort.

Sutton Navistar International Transportation Co Abstract This paper describes the methodology and results of International Truck and Engine High Performance Vehicle Driveability Ride and Handling Document Number 2001012787 Date Published Authors Anthony In parallel with this benchmarking effort, several design option levels were developed which gave us the ability to progressively modify and improve our systems to achieve the desired performance targets derived from the benchmarking effort. The Driveability initiative is an ongoing and evolutionary program at International and encompasses the areas of powertrain performance, driver environment, ride and handling.

In parallel with this benchmarking effort, several design option levels were developed which gave us the ability to progressively modify and improve our systems to achieve the desired performance targets derived from the benchmarking effort. The first step in the process was to determine the desired metrics of the program and measure the characteristics of competitive as well as our own current production and preprototype High Performance Vehicles HPV. These system installations were then benchmark tested and analyzed to ensure that the final design would provide the targeted balance of ride and handling to satisfy the requirements of the International Driveability initiative.
