formally announced in September a new
long-term production agreement for
Class 4 and 5 trucks. Hinted at as early as

opportunity to expand across the com-
mercial vehicle marketplace. Production
on the new trucks will begin at Navistar's
Ohio assembly plant in 2018.
"GM will jointly develop the vehicles
and provide commercial components
and engines. Navistar will provide joint

and manufacturing capabilities," Loewer
