Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) and Navistar, Inc. (NYSE:NAV) today announced that Corning will provide Navistar with advanced diesel emissions-control products that will enable Navistar to meet the strict Environmental Protection Agency regulations (EPA 2010) that go into effect Jan. 1, 2010. This multi-year agreement is for the supply of Corning emissions-control products for medium- and heavy-duty Navistar MaxxForce brand diesel engines.
Both companies collaborated to integrate Corning DuraTrap AT filters, DuraTrap AC filters, and Celcor substrates into advanced aftertreatment systems optimized for a range of Navistar’s engine platforms. Corning, a leading supplier of emissions-control products for EPA 2007 regulations, was named by Navistar as a 2007 Diamond Supplier for meeting or exceeding Navistar’s performance expectations on quality, delivery, and cost.
"The ability of Corning to meet the stringent specifications provided by Navistar for particulate filter and substrate technology to support Navistar’s MaxxForce Advanced EGR technology was integral to our selection of these products with this proven supplier,” said Eric Tech, vice president and general manager of the Navistar Engine Group. “This agreement is a key enabler of Navistar’s mission to provide customers with a simple and straightforward solution that places the responsibility of emissions compliance on the vehicle manufacturer, not the customer."
