WARRENVILLE, Ill. (July 29, 2008) Navistar Financial Corporation (NFC), an affiliate of Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) entered into a $300 million conduit facility backed by retail notes. This agreement brings the total of asset-backed notes sold by NFC since November 2007 to more than $1 billion.
