In November, Navistar Inc. announced the finalization of an agreement to acquire certain assets and the membership interests of Continental Diesel Systems US LLC, to manufacture key fuel injection components for its MaxxForce diesel engines.
“One of Navistar’s strategic pillars is to achieve a competitive cost structure by controlling our own destiny,” said Eric Tech, president of Navistar Engine Group. “By designing and manufacturing our own fuel system technologies, Pure Power Technologies enables us to do exactly that.”
Pure Power Technologies will vertically integrate research and development, engineering and manufacturing to produce diesel power systems and emissions control systems for commercial and defense markets. Pure Power Technologies, based in Columbia, will operate a research and development center there as well as a manufacturing plant in nearby Blythewood.
