Navistar Says Trucks Qualify for More CARB Vouchers

Navistar International Corp. said Monday that it has received total hybrid vehicle certification from the California Air Resources Board, becoming the first truck and bus manufacturer to do so.

Under a program CARB approved Friday, purchases of commercial hybrid vehicles can receive incentives ranging from $10,000 to $35,000 per vehicle. But purchasers of Navistar hybrid trucks and buses will receive addition $5,000 vouchers, Navistar said.

The CARB program sets aside $25 million for the incentive program, which is part of a California assembly bill aimed at deploying hybrid commercial vehicles, Navistar said.
