DALLAS – Navistar is now offering customers “extra savings and peace of mind” when buying an International DuraStar diesel/electric hybrid truck. Among the new options is a 60-month battery-lease program, said to be the first of its kind in the North American truck industry. It results in $10,000 coming off the purchase price of the truck. There’s also a 60-month fair-market-value lease and a $6,000 tax-match incentive in the United States, according to www.todaystrucking.com.

The DuraStar Hybrid qualifies for U.S. federal tax credits of $3,000 to $12,000, depending on application and GVW, for most customers. International is offering an additional $6,000 matching “Green” credit for qualifying buyers.

With the 60-month fair market value lease on the DuraStar hybrid, customers will have the option when the lease expires to either purchase the truck or just walk away.

In addition, Navistar is offering a simple, 60-month battery-lease program for the DuraStar Hybrid. The customer will receive an additional $10,000 off the purchase price of the vehicle in exchange for paying 60 monthly lease payments on the truck battery.

All three programs run through December 31, 2008.
