Navistar Saves Vital Diesel Engine Supply Pact with Ford, To Switch to Common Rail.

CHICAGO, Mar 17, 2003

Navistar International Corp., second largest producer and lowest cost supplier of diesel engines in North America, saved a financially vital V6 and V8 diesel engine supply pact with major customer Ford Motor Co., according to a late news bulletin issued today by Stark's Component Ledger, a respected business publication. Stark's reported that Navistar agreed to abandon a less complex powerplant design that currently uses unit injectors and adopt a more complex common rail design for the diesel engines. The business journal said the stunning development was seen as representing death for the much-ballyhooed, futuristic 'camless engine,' whose primary design elements are spin-offs of diesel engines with unit injectors. Common rail fuel injection systems are widely utilized by other major industry makers of diesel engines in plans to meet the next stringent level of federal engine emissions standards to be implemented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on January 1, 2007. Stark's reported that sources familiar with the agreement made during Navistar's fiscal 2003 second quarter that started last month indicated Ford would absorb the entire $90.0 million loss of business late last year linked with its inability to build and sell trucks with diesel engines featuring the new unit injection design. Navistar agreed to change the design of all V6 and V8-shaped diesel engines to common rail from unit injectors for engines supplied directly to Ford, it added. As a result of the compromise in bargaining between the firms, Stark's disclosed that Ford agreed to end a financial dispute over Navistar's $300.0 million investment, which involved the construction of a new engine manufacturing facility at Huntsville, Ala. Ford gave Navistar a green light to sell the V6 and V8 diesel engines to vehicle assemblers, in addition to Ford, the business publication stated. Navistar reportedly sought to recover nearly 70 per cent of the $300.0 million investment at Huntsville from Ford, after Ford threatened to terminate the program late last year. Navistar already has generated active interest from Toyota Motor Corp. and Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., which might source V6 and V8 diesel engines from Navistar for use in future U.S. production of heavy-duty pick-up trucks, Stark's added. SOURCE Stark's Component Ledger
