 Navistar is the world
leader in the production of mid-range diesel engines,
which are those in the 160-300 horsepower range.
These engines power all of the Navistar medium trucks
and school buses, as well as some heavy (Class 8) trucks.
Navistar also sells its engines to other original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in North American and
export markets for use in pickup trucks and full-size
vans, and for marine, construction, agricultural and
industrial use.
The Company manufactures in-line six-cylinder diesel
engine models at its Melrose Park, Illinois, engine
plant, and produces V-8 diesel engine models at its
Indianapolis, Indiana, engine plant. In addition,
Navistar manufactures castings and other engine
components at facilities in Indianapolis and Waukesha,
Wisconsin.
With approximately 50 percent of the combined diesel
engine market for medium trucks and heavy-duty pickups
and vans, in 1995 Navistar outproduced such major
competitors as Chevrolet, Cummins and Isuzu by a wide
margin.
