The
MaxxPro Dash award comes on the heels of the company's
November 22 award for MaxxPro Recovery vehicles. Navistar
has continued to grow its product offerings by leveraging
its current commercial capabilities and assets, which
includes the proven commercial International(r) WorkStar(r)
platform. This business strategy not only allows the company
to respond quickly to vehicle orders, but it simplifies
the integration of vehicle enhancements and the development
of new truck variants.
"We are
honored to provide additional MaxxPro Dash vehicles so
soon after receiving last month's award for Recovery vehicles,"
said Archie Massicotte, president, Navistar Defense. "This
award is an element in a strategy that allows us to build
our business around a revenue base of $1.5 to $2.0 billion.
Another important element is our commitment to keeping
warfighters safe."
Since
2007, the company has been contracted to produce more
than 8,000 MaxxPro MRAP units. While the MaxxPro family
of vehicles has contributed to Navistar's growth into
new markets, the company has received orders for more
than 30,000 vehicles since 2004. This includes sales of
the MaxxPro, International(r) MXT(tm), as well as vehicles
based on the International(r) PayStar(r) and WorkStar
platforms. Production of the new units will be completed
by Summer 2011.
