LONGVIEW, Texas, May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Capacity of Texas, a leading
manufacturer of terminal tractors worldwide, announced today the availability
of the Navistar MaxxForce 7 Diesel Engine in their terminal tractor product
line beginning this fall. The Navistar MaxxForce 7 engine utilizes the
MaxxForce Advanced Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) which provides 2010
emissions compliance using technology proven on MaxxForce engines since 2007.

additional fluids to add ... this will offer our customers a tremendous
operating advantage in the field," said Phillip Ford, President of Capacity of
Texas.

quality, reliability and clean diesel power that is needed in this
