WARRENVILLE, Ill. (June 30, 2009) - Navistar Defense, LLC today announced that it will continue to grow its business even though it was not selected to produce vehicles for the U.S. Army’s Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) program.
“Navistar offers a unique value proposition of great manufacturing, engineering and sustainment capability,” said Archie Massicotte, president, Navistar Defense. “While we recognize we can’t win every new program, if it has a diesel engine and wheels, we will pursue it.”
Beginning in 2007, Navistar gained recognition for its ability to rapidly deliver 6,444 MRAP vehicles in six major variants. Though its MRAP program was a big success, Navistar still has substantial military business, which includes foreign sales to Canada, Singapore, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. The company also continues to expand its parts and service offerings.
Guidance
The outcome of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All Terrain Vehicle program does not affect Navistar’s previously stated 2009 guidance.
