The company reaffirmed its commitment to the North American Class 6 and 7 truck markets, announcing the continued production of F-650 and F-750 Super Duty trucks through its Blue Diamond collaboration with Navistar. Navistar acquired additional equity in Blue Diamond, which will continue to offer dealers and customers F-650 and F-750 trucks, as well as parts support.
Eaton Corp.’s UltraShift Highway Value (HV) transmission now is available as a data book option for the F-650 and F-750.
