States who count on us to get the job doneevery single day, and it’s extremely impor-tant that our vehicles are up to that chal-lenge,” said Phillips. “I have no doubt thatthe CV Series will rise to the occasion;

bringing with it the power, safety and dri-vability that gives us the very best tool toprovide for our customers.”Since its launch in November, the CV

Series has disrupted the Class 4/5 markets.As the only truck within the class designed,distributed and supported by a manufactur-
