News here of Hino's North American pricing strategy for EPA 10. At $6700 on-cost per vehicle (Hino markets products in Classes 4-7), the Japanese are looking pretty competitive, and are coming in at some $700 more than Navistar's MD range, which will see a price increase of $6000.
The Ford story is similarly noteworthy. The late and unlamented Powerstroke engine has been replaced by the Scorpion (insert comment per marketing here) which, in addition to being a home-grown unit, also comes c/w SCR.
Can we now add both Ford and Toyota to the list of possible late entrants to the Amici group standing behind the EPA as Navistar seeks to discuss the use of urea after 1st January next year?
