Louisville, KY - Daniel Ustian, CEO of Navistar International Corp., said that he was proud of the industry's work to reduce diesel engine emissions over the past few years.

Noting that by 2010 nitrogen oxide and particulate matter emissions will have been cut by more than 90% each in less than 15 years, Ustain said the effort has been expensive. He said that Navistar spends about $400 million a year on research and development and that "50% of that is on emissions on the environment." Ustian spoke at the meeting of the Heavy Duty Manufacturers Association here in March.
