Did you know? 2010 SCR MYTHS VS. ADVANCED EGR FACTS

Don't be fooled for 2010 -
read email from John McKinney

There's no shortage of opinions on the right approach to meeting new emissions regulations. As you are likely aware, Navistar stands alone by employing MaxxForce® Advanced EGR technology, while the rest of the industry has made the decision to utilize urea-based SCR technology.

The decision to zig while the others have zagged has resulted in quite a bit of misinformation about EGR and SCR technology alike.

Our goal: to give you the information you need to understand the implications of 2010 technology. We're confident once you have all the facts, you'll see MaxxForce Advanced EGR is clearly the better way to go.

Visit www.icbus.com/2010/emissions where you'll find helpful answers to tough questions about 2010 and find out more about how MaxxForce Advanced EGR takes the burden of compliance off of you.

What's driving Navistar?

Feb. 3 - Ted Pincus, Chicago Sun Times

On the bleak, bloody landscape of the world's motor vehicle makers - with most icons on their knees - is there a manufacturer on the move?

I mean, is there one actually showing sustained growth in sales and earnings? One whose hand is not out begging for a bailout?

Brown Transportation Awarded Hybrid-Electric School Bus

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) are launching a three-year demonstration and evaluation of two diesel-electric hybrid school buses - one plug-in, charge-depleting hybrid school bus and one "standard" charge-sustaining hybrid school bus. 

During the first year of the project, the buses have been provided to Schenectady City School District and will be operated by Brown Transportation. The buses will be transferred to other school districts in the second and third year of the project.

The buses are traveling under the same conditions and routes as a conventional diesel school bus. The study will examine how differences in bus routes, such as average speed, number of stops, idle time, hilly or flat roadways, affect performance. They will be rotated with the conventional school bus on the same three routes throughout the year.

NYPA purchased the two hybrid school buses from Leonard Bus Sales. Brown Transportation took title of the buses, and LBS is providing service and technical support.

“This project helps to ensure New York State’s continued leadership in providing safe and reliable student transportation in an economical and environmentally responsible fashion.  Leonard Bus Sales is proud to be a member of the hybrid school bus project team.
