This multi-year agreement is for the supply of Corning emissions-control products for medium- and heavy-duty Navistar MaxxForce brand diesel engines.

Both companies collaborated to integrate Corning DuraTrap AT filters, DuraTrap AC filters, and Celcor substrates into advanced aftertreatment systems optimized for a range of Navistar's engine platforms. Corning was named by Navistar as a 2007 Diamond Supplier for meeting or exceeding Navistar's performance expectations on quality, delivery, and cost.

According to Eric Tech, vice president and general manager of Navistar Engine Group, the agreement is a key enable of the company's mission to provide customers with a solution that places the responsibility of emissions compliance on the vehicle manufacturer, not the consumer.
