    Equity investment

    Volkswagen Truck & Bus will take a 16.6%
    equity stake (post-dilution) in Navistar by way of
    a capital increase (subject to customary closing
    conditions).

    agreements to collaborate on technology for
    powertrain systems, as well as other advanced
    technologies.

  3. 3

    Procurement joint venture

    procurement joint venture to pursue joint
    global sourcing opportunities.

    representatives to its Board of Directors at
