Following calls from OOIDA (Owner-Operator Independent Drivers
Association) for a delay in the implementation of the EPA's 2010
legislation, Navistar has announced that it is ready to take a
'leadership role' in lobbying congress and the incoming
administration. OOIDA is concerned about the introduction of new
standards and technologies at such a sensitive time for the US
trucking industry and the wider economy, and is seeking to delay
the legislation and avoid a pre-buy situation.
Truck market analysts have indicated that Navistar's chances of
delaying the adoption of 2010 rules are slim given the EPA's
statements on any possible delays and the importance that
President-Elect Obama has placed on the environment.
