Press Release: Navistar Clarifies Media Reports Regarding the Company's Activities in Mexico

05/30/96

CHICAGO, PRNewswire -- In a series of special events 
scheduled this week in Mexico, Navistar International execu-
tives will inaugurate the company's plans to serve that 
region through 21 dealer outlets and a contract assembly 
agreement.  Various wire services erroneously reported that 
these events would be used to announce construction of a 
manufacturing facility in Mexico.

Navistar's plans to serve customers in Mexico were announced
in February.  The events slated this week formally intro-
duce the dealer network to the marketplace. During the 
initial series of events, Chairman and Chief Executive 
Officer John R. Horne and other Navistar executives will meet
with customers and personnel at one of the dealer outlets as
well as with government officials.  In addition, they will 
tour the contract assembly facilities in Monterey.  It was 
also erroneously reported by the wire services that 
Navistar's Horne would be meeting with President Ernesto 
Zedillo.

Similar events will be held at the other dealer locations 
over the next several months.

Navistar also serves customers in Mexico through Dina 
Camiones, Mexico's largest truck manufacturer.  Navistar has
a 7.4 percent ownership interest in Dina, as well as a number
of technology assistance and supply agreements that enable 
Dina to offer Navistar's products to customers in Mexico.  
The Navistar agreements with Dina expire in March 1998. 
Chicago-based Navistar manufactures and markets International
brand medium and heavy trucks, school buses and mid-range 
diesel engines.
