BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NC² Global LLC, the global joint venture between Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) and Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV), will be showing International^® brand trucks during Auto China 2010 for the first time. Housed in the Jianghuai Automobile Co. (JAC) booth (Booth #W06), NC² will display a sample of truck models that capture its vision of innovative and fuel efficient vehicles.

“We’re excited about showcasing our International brand trucks at Auto China 2010,” said Al Saltiel, President of NC². “We have a solid intention of expanding into China and pursuing opportunities with JAC. Our presence at this show provides an opportunity to showcase our history and introduce the country to some of our innovative products.”

The products scheduled to be on display include:

• International^® LoneStar^®: Launched in 2008, this next-generation heavy duty tractor is re-defining commercial trucking with its blend of style and performance. The unique design is inspired by a 1930s model International pick-up truck, melding the proud heritage of International trucks with today’s aerodynamic design for enhanced fuel efficiency.
• International^® TranStar^®: The International TranStar is an ideal product for the Chinese market, as it provides excellent maneuverability, with best-in-class turning radius and best-in-class visibility. The truck’s design delivers significantly higher fuel economy than the cab-over engine designs that are predominant in China. These advantages, along with the model’s proven reliability and durability, have led many fleets to rely on the TranStar as the backbone of their transport needs.
• International^® WorkStar^®: As the historically highest-selling International product outside of North America, the International WorkStar provides rugged power and flexibility for both on-highway and off-highway applications. Typical construction and municipal applications include dump, mixer, heavy haul, snow removal and waste collection.

NC²’s presence at the show affirms its commitment to enter the Chinese market as it continues to pursue a joint venture with JAC. China is an important part of the company’s plans for global expansion. Recently, NC² has announced plans to operate in Brasil and Australia.
