Media Alert: International Truck and Engine Corporation and EPA Announce Clean Diesel Combustion; Event Date: Thursday, May 13, 2004

--
Who:      U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
          Administrator Mike Leavitt
          and
          Navistar International Corporation
          Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer 
          Daniel C. Ustian

What:     A press conference announcing the testing and development 
          partnership between the EPA and International Truck and 
          Engine Corporation concerning EPA's Clean Diesel Combustion 
          (CDC) technology for low-emission diesel engines. This 
          technology potentially will:
          --  Further the viability of diesel engines in passenger
              vehicles with near-zero emissions.
          --  Yield cost-effective light-duty and heavy-duty diesel 
              power without NOx aftertreatment systems.
          --  Create additional skilled jobs in the U.S. diesel 
              engine industry.

Why:      In 2007 and 2010 EPA standards will mandate that all 
          on-highway diesel engines must achieve near-zero NOx 
          emissions. Learn how CDC technology not only will help to 
          meet these mandates but further increase the viability of 
          clean diesel technology in light-duty and heavy-duty 
          commercial and consumer vehicles like SUVs and passenger 
          cars.

          The performance benefits of diesel are proven. With CDC, 
          diesel power will solidify its bright future as the 
          environmental and cost-effective choice in all types of 
          vehicles.
