Navistar Continues to Lead the Trucking Industry in Emissions Solutions

Meeting California’s emission standards is a daunting task for fleets of all sizes; however, Navistar is dedicating to providing its customers with cutting-edge emissions solutions that continue to set the bar for the trucking industry. Below are facts released by Navistar to its dealer network yesterday:

·         All trucks sold in CY 2012 will be certified to operate in all 50 states and Canada.

·         Navistar will submit a 0.2g NOx in-cylinder Big Bore engine for production certification in the coming weeks.  We have been working with the EPA for several months in anticipation of our submission and expect production of the engine to begin later this year.

·         While the EPA is processing this submission, Navistar will continue to build engines with credits we’ve earned by producing and selling cleaner engines in advance of the regulation requirements.  In the event this process takes longer, the EPA has recently published a rule, as was always contemplated in the Clean Air Act, that provides multiple paths for companies to continue producing engines.

·         When submissions and certification is complete: Navistar will be the only manufacturer in the world who has achieved a 0.2g NOx solution without SCR and our products will continue to represent the best solution for our customers. 

·         We believe the burden of emissions requirements is an OEM’s responsibility and thus, our compliance strategies remain focused on providing solutions without the complexity and operating hassles associated with SCR.

·         The true mark of a leader is to continue to move ahead of the competition by understanding and anticipating where the market is going.  Watch for our announcement on Natural Gas next week to see where Navistar is headed next.
