When the other heavy-duty engine makers chose selective catalytic reduction (SCR) as the technology to meet the 0.2 nitrates of oxide (NOx) standard, many said Navistar would be at a distinct disadvantage.

COMMENT on Linkedin: "World of Trucks" -6 Nov 2010: by Brian Askew "• They still don't meet the new standards without the credits from all of those pickup truck engines that were so bad Ford ended the marriage and designed their own PowerStroke.

The Prostar is made in Mexico. Fact"
