Navistar announced it will make a capital investment of more than $250 million to build a new manufacturing facility in Texas. According to the company, this investment will bring approximately 600 jobs to the San Antonio area.
The new plant will build Class 6-8 vehicles, and builds on the company’s plans to invest $125 million in the Huntsville, Alabama engine plant to produce powertrains developed as part of the alliance with TRATON. Navistar plans to break ground on the property later this year and anticipates production to begin approximately 24 months later.
The Texas site is located along Interstate 35, which links Navistar’s southern United States and Mexico supply bases.
