GM, Navistar Agree to Assemble Commercial Vehicles



General Motors and Navistar have reached a long-term agreement to develop and assemble future medium-duty, conventional cab Class 4 and 5 commercial vehicles.

“Bringing medium-duty conventional cab trucks back into the portfolio strengthens Chevrolet’s commitment to providing commercial customers with more choices and one-stop shopping for a versatile lineup of trucks, vans and crossovers,” said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president of GM fleet and commercial sales.

The future products will be jointly developed using Navistar’s rolling chassis configurations and manufacturing capabilities with GM’s commercial components and engines. The vehicles are slated for production in 2018 and will be manufactured at Navistar’s facility in Springfield, OH.

“Our collaboration with GM is another example of our customer-centric, open integration approach—providing our customers with the best technologies available,” said Bill Kozek, president of truck and parts at Navistar. “By working with an industry-leading company like GM, we’ll be able to enhance our medium-duty product portfolio and leverage our scale and expertise in manufacturing medium-duty trucks.”

Specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
