“This deal is another example of how Navistar is growing the business by leveraging what we have and what others have built,” said Jack Allen, president of Navistar’s North American truck group. “Adding Continental gives us another opportunity to provide an integrated, one-stop shop for our customers and helps expand Navistar’s industry-leading portfolio of purpose-built products.”
