Navistar-Polish sales agreement

MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. - Navistar Defense announced the signing of a sales agreement on Jan. 16 with Polski Holding Obronny (PHO) enabling the U.S. company to provide parts to support vehicles used in Ukraine and the Eastern European region. With the instability in Eastern Europe, Navistar wants to "ensure that U.S. allies have access to innovative vehicles and solutions" to protect and support military, law enforcement and humanitarian missions," said Ted Wright, CEO of Navistar Defense. Under the agreement, Navistar will provide genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer and aftermarket spare parts for militarized off-the-shelf and tactical vehicles. PHO will facilitate vehicle sales in the Eastern European. It is Navistar Defense's first step towards providing training, logistics and service support in the region. The meeting is a clear signal that Poland continues to modernize its Armed Forces, said Artur Gocel, president of PHO. Poland is a member of NATO's eastern flank. PHO will cooperate with Navistar in the sale of spare parts for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles and vehicles manufactured by Navistar. MRAP is a military armored vehicle manufactured to protect the crew against possible explosions.
