Navistar's 15 Litre Engine. It's a CAT

Commercial Motor

August 7, 2012

And nobody seems surprised. But, what is surprising is that according to this report, it's not going to be ready until late 2010, some time after the January 1st EPA 10 deadline. This doesn't fit with Navistar's previous EGR bullishness, and suggests to us a rather unusually cautious approach.

As with the rest of the NAV engine range, everything depends on the fuel figures. MAN couldn't get EGR to work acceptably post Euro V, and so we hope that CAT has something very special up its sleeve for EPA 10.

Porsche Tables Reluctant Bid for Scania

Porsche does not want to own Scania. It has been fairly clear about this all along. But rules are rules, and so, as a result of its increased holding in VW, it has to make a bid for the Swedish truck maker. Which it has, and which, one suspects, is unlikely to get much of a reception even in these troubled times.
