Early last month, Navistar announced that it would be combining its revolutionary in-cylinder engine technology with a certified, urea-based aftertreatment system to create a next-generation, clean engine solution called In-Cylinder Technology Plus (ICT+). And with Navistar’s announcement yesterday that it has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Cummins Inc., which includes plans to incorporate Cummins’ aftertreatment systems into MaxxForce engines, it appears that ICT+ is on schedule to be available to customers by early 2013.
This course of action will allow Navistar International to offer commercial vehicles that meet 2010 EPA emissions requirements, and will put the company into a position to meet 2014 and 2017 greenhouse gas standards ahead of schedule. It will also allow Navistar to continue to develop its exclusive in-cylinder technology to pioneer emissions solutions in the future.
"Our distinctive solution will leverage the investment and advancement we've made in clean engine technology while providing immediate certainty for our customers, dealers, employees and investors," explained Daniel C. Ustian, Navistar chairman, president and CEO. "We have made tremendous progress with in-cylinder technology and with the introduction of ICT+, our goal is to offer the world's cleanest and most fuel-efficient diesel engine—benefiting both our customers and the environment for years to come."
