Lisle, ILL,USA -Transport Topics -9 Aug 2013: -- Navistar International Corp. plans to cut “a few hundred” jobs by early September in a move to reduce costs... The truck and engine maker is still working to determine the exact number of jobs that will be cut, Navistar spokeswoman, Elissa Maurer, told...  Maurer would not specify exactly where the cuts will take place, but said they will be mainly in North America. It also could potentially cut about 140 contractors... The cuts were announced via an internal letter to employees from CEO, Troy Clarke, and Chief Operating Officer, Jack Allen... Navistar has about 15,000 employees globally, including about 3,000 at its Lisle, Ill., headquarters. 


* North Carolina - Mack to offer DME-fueled Pinnacle in 2015

Greensboro,NC,USA-Fleet Owner -Jun. 21, 2013: -- Mack Trucks will follow its sister company Volvo and offer a dimethyl ether (DME) tractor to customers, beginning in 2015... A Mack Pinnacle Axle Back model will be powered by the MP8 engine running on DME, which is a clean-burning alternative fuel. DME produces no soot, eliminating the need for diesel particulate filter, Mack said, and provides up to a 95% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to diesel when it is produced from biomass or biogas... DME can be made from North America’s plentiful domestic natural gas supply, food waste, animal waste, grass clippings and other sustainable sources, offering the potential to help reduce dependency on foreign oil, the company added... Mack said DME has the same performance and energy efficiency as diesel. The fuel is compression-ignited and is handled and stored similar to propane. It does not need cryogenic temperatures or high tank pressures...
