Vehicle Shippers Using Navistar Trucks

Transport firms in the United States trying to control car shipping prices will be interested in the news that Navistar recently announced they would be spending about $90 million to renovate the existing product development facility the company has in Melrose Park, Illinois. Navistar apparently plans to turn this old facility into a state-of-the-art testing center for the trucks and diesel engines the company will use in the heavy-duty trucks it manufactures in the years ahead. The old facility is located on an 80-acre site and according to Navistar will compliment the work that will be done in the company's integrated product development center, which will be located at the former Alcatel-Lucent East campus in Lisle.

This is great news for car transport companies implementing Navistar manufactured trucks in their fleet operations and for the state of Illinois, in general. Navistar and the UAW also recently finished putting pen-to-paper on a new four-year labor agreement, as well, and many transport professionals in the United States of America figure that this is going to mean more jobs for Illinois, and more money and vehicles flowing through the state in the years ahead. This news probably isn't a surprise to many car transport service providers doing business in Illinois and around the United States, especially since Navistar has always shown a commitment to the state of Illinois and the people of America, and manufacturing the best trucks possible.
