MaxxForce 13-Liter Fuel Economy and Advanced EGR are Key Drivers

WARRENVILLE, ILL. (May 11, 2010) – Navistar, Inc. and J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. today announced that the two companies have reached a long-term supply agreement for Navistar to be the principal provider of International® brand commercial trucks to J.B. Hunt through 2014.

“We’re excited to once again be J.B. Hunt’s principal commercial truck provider and look forward to delivering them International trucks with MaxxForce® engines as well as the full support of our parts and dealer network,” said Jack Allen, president of Navistar’s North American truck group.

“J.B. Hunt is an industry leader and one of the most metric-driven transportation companies in the world,” Allen added. “They have tested our ProStar with MaxxForce 13 engine and this agreement demonstrates their confidence in the fuel economy, overall performance and no-hassle approach of our MaxxForce Advanced EGR engines.”

The five-year agreement with J.B.

“J.B. Hunt is continuously evaluating equipment alternatives to ensure we leverage the best solution available for our customers, our drivers and the environment,” said Kirk Thompson, president and CEO for J.B.
