As a responsible company, Navistar is implementing measures to reduce its energy usage, support the circular economy, and drive positive community impact. Like other TRATON GROUP brands, Navistar is committed to establishing science-based targets for validation by the global Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which aids companies in setting emissions targets.
In 2023, Navistar included energy efficiency as a metric for its annual performance incentives for the first time. This measures energy intensity (energy use per unit of production) at its major facilities and will account for 5% of the company’s overall incentives.
Navistar has significantly reduced its environmental impact, achieving a 99.3% reduction in annual wastewater disposal and a 97.2% saving on disposal costs at its Powertrain Plant in Huntsville, Alabama, through advanced technology. Additionally, the company donates vehicles for technician training, refurbishes IT equipment to prevent toxic metal pollution, and aims to generate 20% of its parts revenue from remanufactured components.
In 2023, Navistar recycled 86% of its waste, including materials like cardboard, paint solvents, and IT equipment. It also sells around 3,000 remanufactured parts from four central refurbishment facilities. Also, the company actively partners with community cleanups and environmental groups at its manufacturing facilities.
With ongoing innovation, strategic partnerships, and a focus on eco-friendly production processes, Navistar is poised to lead the commercial transport sector into a sustainable, electrified future.
