New Navistar Filters, Parts Programs

Navistar International Corp.’s Parts business has announced a product expansion and a variety of solutions to improve parts availability.

On the product side, Fleetrite, Navistar’s all-makes aftermarket truck and bus parts brand, has introduced a new line of filters. Fleetrite filters are replacements for original equipment manufacturer filters and include air, hydraulic, fuel, lube and oil, DEF and water and coolant. The new products enhance the Fleetrite brand’s more than 100 current product lines.

“The introduction of filters into our Fleetrite product offering expands our portfolio to cover one of the largest all-makes, maintenance product lines in the heavy-duty industry and allows us to reach new customer segments,” said Josef Kory, senior vice president, Parts, Navistar.

Fleetrite is also expanding its retail footprint with the addition of standalone Fleetrite retail locations to International Truck and IC Bus dealer locations. There are currently eight Fleetrite stores open with plans to develop 10 stores in 2020. The goal, Navistar said, is to reach 50 locations by 2023. Navistar said it collaborates with its International Truck dealer network to determine the most ideal locations for new stores.

“Fleetrite stores were designed to support our customers and their businesses by bringing quality parts closer to our customer, offering multiple daily deliveries and stocking parts that fit all makes and models,” Kory added.

Navistar’s Parts business is also launching a new online parts ordering option powered by RepairLink, an online connection to order parts from the International Truck and IC Bus dealer network. With Navistar’s entire parts catalogue available for purchase, more than 3500 customers have made upward of 30,000 transactions using RepairLink.

“RepairLink offers a solution to fleets of all sizes to order and manage parts, which will in turn help our dealers engage with customers through comprehensive online interactions,” said Kory. “We’re working quickly to continue to evolve ways in which we connect with and serve our customers. Ultimately, we want to cover all of our customers’ aftermarket needs through a simple digital experience.”
