Navistar Engineering VP Leaves Company

Helmut Endres, vice president of engineering for Navistar Inc.’s engine group, has left the company, the truck and engine maker told Transport Topics on July 23.

“Helmut left for personal reasons to go back to Germany,” said Roy Wiley, a Navistar spokesman, adding that Endres’ departure would not affect the company’s MaxxForce engine line. “It has no impact on our MaxxForce engine program,” he said. “It’s totally unrelated.”

Wiley declined to comment further.

Endres had been with Navistar since 2006. He previously worked for German automaker Volkswagen AG.
