Navistar closing Texas-based plant

Oct 31, 2012

Engine and truck maker Navistar announced Tuesday it intends to close its Garland, Texas, truck manufacturing plant as a cost-cutting measure. Navistar says the plant will close at an undetermined time in the first half of 2013.

The plant employes about 900 people. The trucks produced at the plant will be transitioned to another plant in North America, Navistar said, and closing the plant will save the company between $25 and $35 million a year.

CARB to allow ZEV credit transfers across states, classes

CARB will allow OEMs to use credits earned for light-, medium-duty ZEV sales to offset Class 7-8 deficits; also will enable ‘pooling’ of credits across opt-in states, among other changes.

If finalized, this proposal would remove all greenhouse gas standards for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and heavy-duty engines, starting with EPA’s first greenhouse gas regulations set in 2010 for light-duty vehicles and those set in 2011 for medium-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles and engines – which includes off-cycle credits like the much hated start-stop feature on most new cars.
