Navistar Engine Group has reorganized its business units to focus on North America, South America and Global, and has made new appointments to accommodate the change.
The company aims at expanding its customer base around the world.

"This is a significant next step in achieving our vision to transform Navistar Engine Group into a thriving global business that will provide clean diesel solutions wherever there's a need for power," said Eric Tech, who was promoted to president of the engine group. Tech was most recently vice president and general manager of the group.

Andy Dondlinger will move into the position of vice president and general manger of the North American business unit, from general manager of the Vee and Inline Business Units.

Waldey Sanchez will stay on as president and CEO of Navistar's South American engine operation, MWM-International, while Jose Eduardo Luzzi, formerly director of sales and marketing for MWM-International, takes over as vice president and general manager of Navistar's Global Operations.

David LaPalomento has been named vice president of Global Integration from vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. Jim Jesionowski will take on director of Global Manufacturing Engineering and Quality.

According to Navistar, the changes are in line with its strategic business goals, including the delivery of MaxxForce engines to the North American on-highway market. The company also hopes to grow in other automotive and industrial segments in NAFTA countries, partner with new OEM customers in established and emerging markets under Euro emissions regulations and create a global platform for continuous improvement in product quality, performance and fuel-efficiency. Other goals include developing common quality and manufacturing processes across our multi-national engine operations and joint ventures and supporting Navistar Global Truck Group and Navistar Global Bus division in non-NAFTA growth areas.
