Sustainability is embedded into Navistar’s vision, strategy and culture. The company takes a holistic look at sustainability including people, planet, responsibility, and impact.

In 2021, two zero-emissions products were launched, including a medium duty vehicle and a school bus. These fully electric zero-emissions vehicles can, depending on the emissions profile of the electricity used to charge them, enable a fully zero-emissions footprint.
