Navistar, through its wholly owned affiliate, the school and commercial bus manufacturer, IC Corp., will begin production of hybrid school buses in partnership with Enova Systems. The buses, according to the manufacturer, can improve fuel efficiency by 70 to 100 percent while reducing emissions

by up to 90 percent. Scheduled delivery of the first 19 plug-in hybrid school buses from IC Corp. to 11 states has also been announced. The program was undertaken by Advanced Energy, a non-profit consortium of school districts, state energy agencies and student transportation providers. In addition, in 2006, IC Corp. announced that it is launching a new line of diesel-electric hybrid commercial buses that use the Enova system.
