WARRENVILLE, Ill. – Cummins announced on Monday it has signed a three-year contract extension to continue supplying Navistar International with engines for its “Class 8” on-highway trucks.

“Navistar has a [long] association with Cummins. The ISX engine enjoys significant share in our Class 8 products,” said Navistar CEO Daniel Ustian in a Monday statement. “We are pleased that this agreement will extend our relationship through 2013.”

Based in Columbus, Ind., Cummins designs, manufactures, distributes and services engines and related technologies including fuel systems filtration and emission solutions. Warrenville, Ill.-based Navistar produces brand commercial and military trucks.

As part of the agreement, which begins in 2010, Cummins will supply Navistar with ISL, ISM and ISX engines through 2013. Starting in 2010, Cummins will be Navistar’s exclusive supplier for 15- and 16-liter big-bore diesel engines for Navistar’s trucks in North America.

Cummins GM Ed Pence said on Monday in a statement that Cummins and Navistar have a long history of collaboration that serves their mutual customers.

“We have been working closely with Navistar to integrate our 2010 solutions. This agreement will deliver the right technology to meet customers’ needs for operational efficiency and low operating costs with high performance and reliability,” Pence said.
