Navistar’s eStar all-electric truck is rolling off the production line to what the company calls “significant interest” in the marketplace. President Barack Obama made a multi-million dollar pledge a year ago to put more “green” vehicles on the road. Already, eStar trucks have been delivered to and Pacific Gas & Electric Company. Navistar plans to deliver more support by expanding its dealer locations into key areas in California, the Midwest and East Coast. To make the trucks more accessible, Navistar is offering flexible leasing options.
