Navistar to hire 200 in Fort Wayne, Ind.

WARRENVILLE - Navistar International plans to add 200 engineering jobs to its design and engineering center in Fort Wayne, Ind., by the end of the year.

A company spokesman said Tuesday it is hiring engineers for the International Truck and Engine center to be sure that its diesel engines meet federal environmental requirements set to take effect in 2010.

Navistar also said last month it will create an alliance with Peoria-based Caterpillar Inc. to work on technology development, engines and vehicles.

Navistar spokesman Jeff Benzing said the new jobs will pay an average of $70,000 a year and range from entry level to management.
