Navistar Partners General Motors to Produce Cutaway Van
Share price of Navistar International Corporation decreased 7.7% to $13.76 on Jun 9 due to an overall decline in the market. Meanwhile, Navistar signed an agreement with General Motors Company (GM - Free Report) per which it will produce the cutaway model of General Motors’ G Van at the Springfield, OH plant from the first half of 2017.
Navistar is very enthusiastic about the new deal. The company will be hiring 300 workers to support production. It will also recommission its second line at the plant.
Navistar intends to produce higher volumes of light- and medium-duty products at the Springfield plant. Increased production will help the company to achieve its target to drive automotive quality in the commercial vehicle industry.
General Motors manufactures cutaway vans for commercial customers. These customers use the vehicles as utility trucks, buses, ambulances and rescue vehicles.
According to General Motors, this partnership will help provide flexibility to the Wentzville, MO plant. This plant is focused on satisfying the rising demand for mid-size trucks and full size vans.
Navistar and General Motors have worked together earlier as well. In Sep 2015, the companies signed an agreement to jointly develop and assemble medium-duty, conventional cab Class 4/5 commercial vehicles.
