PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Navistar International Corporation is a holding company and its
principal operating subsidiary is Navistar International Transportation
Corp. referred to as "Transportation". As used hereafter, "Navistar" or
"company" refers to Navistar International Corporation and its
subsidiaries, and "Parent Company" refers to Navistar International
Corporation alone.

Navistar, through its wholly owned subsidiary Transportation,
operates in two principal industry segments: manufacturing and financial
services. Manufacturing operations are responsible for the manufacture
and marketing of medium and heavy trucks, including school buses, mid-
range diesel engines and service parts primarily in the United States and
Canada as well as in selected export markets. Based on assets and
revenues, manufacturing operations represent the majority of
Transportation's business activities. The financial services operations
consist of Navistar Financial Corporation (Navistar Financial), its
domestic insurance subsidiary and the company's foreign finance and
insurance subsidiaries. Navistar Financial's primary business is the
retail and wholesale financing of products sold by the manufacturing
operations and its dealers within the United States and the providing of
commercial physical damage and liability insurance to the manufacturing
operations' dealers and retail customers and to the general public through
an independent insurance agency system. Industry segment data for 1996,
1995, and 1994 is summarized in Note 15 to the Financial Statements, which
is incorporated herein by reference.

THE MEDIUM AND HEAVY TRUCK INDUSTRY

The market in which Navistar competes is subject to considerable
volatility as it moves in response to cycles in the overall business
environment and is particularly sensitive to the industrial sector which
generates a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled. Government
regulation has impacted and will continue to impact trucking operations
and efficiency and the specifications of equipment.

The following table shows industry retail deliveries in the combined
United States and Canadian markets for the five years ended October 31, in
thousands of units:

Manufacturers Associations (AAMA) in the United States and Canada, and
other sources.





The Class 5 through 8 diesel truck market in the United States and
Canada is highly competitive. Major domestic competitors include PACCAR,
Ford and General Motors, as well as foreign-controlled manufacturers, such
as Freightliner, Mack and Volvo GM. In addition, manufacturers from Japan
(Hino, Isuzu, Nissan and Mitsubishi) are competing in the United States
and Canadian markets. The intensity of this competition results in price
discounting and margin pressures throughout the industry. In addition to
the influence of price, market position is driven by product quality,
engineering, styling, utility and distribution.

TRANSPORTATION MARKET SHARE

Transportation delivered 94,000 Class 5 through 8 trucks, including
school buses, in the United States and Canada in fiscal 1996, an 8%
decrease from the 101,700 units delivered in 1995. Navistar's combined
share of the Class 5 through 8 truck market was 27.5% in 1996 and 26.7% in
1995. Transportation has been the leader in combined market share for
Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school buses, in the United States and
Canada in each of its last 16 fiscal years based on data obtained from the
American Automobile Manufacturer's Association, the United States Motor
Vehicle Manufacturer's Association and R.L. Polk & Company.

PRODUCTS

The following table illustrates the percentage of Transportation's
manufacturing sales by class of product based on dollar amount:

Transportation manufactures a full line of products in the common
carrier, private carrier, government/service, leasing, construction,
energy/petroleum and student transportation markets. Transportation offers
diesel-powered trucks and buses because of their improved fuel economy,
ease of serviceability and greater durability over gasoline-powered
vehicles. Transportation's Class 8 heavy trucks generally use diesel
engines purchased from outside suppliers while Class 5, 6 and 7 medium
trucks are powered by a proprietary line of mid-range diesel engines
manufactured by Transportation. Based upon information published by R.L.
Polk & Company, diesel-powered Class 5, 6 and 7 medium truck shipments
represented 87% of all medium truck shipments for fiscal year 1996 in the
United States and Canada.

Transportation's truck and bus manufacturing operations in the United
States and Canada consist principally of the assembly of components
manufactured by its suppliers, although Transportation produces its own
mid-range diesel truck engines, sheet metal components (including cabs)
and miscellaneous other parts.




ENGINE AND FOUNDRY

Transportation builds diesel engines for use in its Class 5, 6 and 7
medium trucks, school buses, selected Class 8 heavy truck models and for
sale to original equipment manufacturers in the United States and Canada.
Transportation also sells engines for industrial, agricultural and marine
applications. Transportation is the leading supplier of mid-range diesel
engines in the 160-300 horsepower range according to data supplied by
Power Systems Research of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Transportation has an agreement to supply its T444E electronically
controlled diesel engine to a domestic automotive company through the year
2000 for use in all of its diesel-powered light trucks and vans. Sales of
this engine to the automotive company currently account for approximately
87% of Transportation's T444E sales. Shipments of V8 and I6 engines to
all original equipment manufacturers totaled a record 163,200 units in
1996, an increase of 6% from the 154,200 units shipped in 1995.

SERVICE PARTS

In the United States and Canada, Transportation operates 7 regional
parts distribution centers, which allows it to offer 24-hour availability
and same day shipment of the parts most frequently requested by customers.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

Transportation's truck products are distributed in virtually all key
markets in the United States and Canada. Transportation's truck
distribution and service network in these countries was composed of 957,
958 and 949 dealers and retail outlets at October 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Included in these totals were 504, 490 and 473 secondary
and associate locations at October 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Retail dealer activity is supported by 5 regional operations in the
United States and a general office in Canada. Transportation has a
national account sales group, responsible for its 110 major national
account customers. Transportation's network of 13 Used Truck Centers in
the United States provides trade-in support to the company's dealers and
national account group, and markets all makes and models of reconditioned
used trucks to owner-operators and fleet buyers. Both wholesale and
retail trucks, components and service parts are exported to more than 70
countries around the world.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

Navistar Financial is engaged in the wholesale, retail and lease
financing of new and used trucks sold by Transportation and its dealers in
the United States. Navistar Financial also finances wholesale accounts
and selected retail accounts receivable of Transportation. Sales of new
products (including trailers) of other manufacturers are also financed
regardless of whether designed or customarily sold for use with
Transportation's truck products. During 1996 and 1995, Navistar Financial
provided wholesale financing for 94% and 93%, respectively, of the new
truck units sold by Transportation to its dealers and distributors in the
United States.




Navistar Financial's wholly owned domestic insurance subsidiary,
Harco National Insurance Company, provides commercial physical damage and
liability insurance coverage to Transportation's dealers and retail
customers, and to the general public through an independent insurance
agency system.

Harbour Assurance Company of Bermuda Limited offers a variety of
programs to the company, including general liability insurance, ocean
cargo coverage for shipments to and from foreign distributors, and
reinsurance coverage for various Transportation policies.

IMPORTANT SUPPORTING OPERATIONS

Third Party Sales Financing Agreements. In the United States,
Transportation has an agreement with Associates Commercial Corporation to
provide wholesale financing to certain of its truck dealers and retail
financing to their customers. Navistar International Corporation Canada
also has an agreement with a subsidiary of General Electric Canadian
Holdings Limited to provide financing for Canadian dealers and customers.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development activities, which are directed toward the
introduction of new products and improvements of existing products and
processes used in their manufacture, totaled $101 million, $91 million,
and $88 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

BACKLOG

The backlog of unfilled truck orders (subject to cancellation or
return in certain events) at October 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $1,254
million, $2,581 million and $3,358 million, respectively.

Although the backlog of unfilled orders is one of many indicators of
market demand, other factors such as changes in production rates,
available capacity, new product introductions and competitive pricing
actions may affect point-in-time comparisons.

EMPLOYEES

The company employed 14,187, 16,079 and 14,910 individuals at October
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

LABOR RELATIONS

At October 31, 1996, the United Automobile, Aerospace and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) represented 6,902 of the
company's active employees in the United States, and the Canadian Auto
Workers (CAW) represented 1,476 of the company's active employees in
Canada. Other unions represented 1,022 of the company's active employees
in the United States and Canada. The company entered into a collective
bargaining agreement with the UAW in 1995, which expires on October 1,
1998. In addition, the company entered into a collective bargaining
agreement with the CAW in 1996, which expires on October 24, 1999.




PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

Transportation continuously obtains patents on its inventions and,
thus, owns a significant patent portfolio. Additionally, many of the
components which Transportation purchases for its products are protected
by patents that are owned or controlled by the component manufacturer.
Transportation has licenses under third-party patents relating to its
products and their manufacture, and Transportation grants licenses under
its patents. The royalties paid or received under these licenses are not
significant. No particular patent or group of patents is considered by
Transportation to be essential to its business as a whole.

Like all businesses which offer well-known products or services,
Transportation's primary trademarks are an important part of its worldwide
sales and marketing efforts, and provide instant identification of its
products and services in the marketplace. To support these efforts,
Transportation maintains, or has pending, registrations of its primary
trademarks in those countries in which it does business or expects to do
business.

RAW MATERIALS AND ENERGY SUPPLIES

Transportation purchases raw materials, parts and components from
numerous outside suppliers but relies upon some suppliers for a
substantial number of components for its truck products. A portion of
Transportation's requirements for raw materials and supplies is filled by
single-source suppliers.

The impact of an interruption in supply will vary by commodity. Some
parts are generic to the industry while others are of a proprietary design
requiring unique tooling which would require time to recreate. However,
the company's exposure to a disruption in production as a result of an
interruption of raw materials and supplies is no greater than the industry
as a whole. In order to remedy any losses resulting from an interruption
in supply, the company maintains contingent business interruption
insurance for storms, fire and water damage.

While the company believes that it has adequate assurances of
continued supply, the inability of a supplier to deliver could have an
adverse effect on production at certain of the company's manufacturing
locations.

IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Truck and engine manufacturers continue to face increasing
governmental regulation of their products, especially in the areas of
environment and safety. The company believes its products comply with all
applicable environmental and safety regulations.

As a diesel engine manufacturer, the company has incurred research
and tooling costs to redesign its engine product lines to meet United
States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and California Air
Resources Board (CARB) emission standards effective for the 1994 model
year. The company faces additional outlays through 1998 to meet further
tightening of these standards. In addition to the 1998 standard, the
company, along with other engine manufacturers, has signed a voluntary
agreement (Statement of Principles) with U.S. EPA and CARB to achieve new
reductions in ozone-causing exhaust emissions by 2004. As a result of the
Statement of Principles, U.S. EPA issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
defining exhaust emission standards for the 2004 model year. A final rule
is expected in the early part of 1997. The company must also satisfy
California's emission standards in 2002 for engines used in medium-size
vehicles (which includes vehicles up to 14,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating). The company expects that its diesel engines will be able to meet
all of these standards within the required time-frame.




Emissions regulations in Canada and Mexico are similar, but not
identical, to the U.S. federal regulations. Although Canada's regulations
impose standards equivalent only to the U.S. standards for the 1990 model
year, diesel engine manufacturers, including the company, have voluntarily
signed several memorandums of understanding with the Canadian federal
government, agreeing to sell only engines meeting the 1994 U.S. emission
standards in model years 1995 to 1997. Canada has announced its intention
to conform its heavy-duty engine emission standards to the U.S. EPA
standards in 1998 and to require low-sulfur diesel fuel beginning October
1, 1997. Mexico has adopted the U.S. heavy diesel engine emission
standards as of the 1994 model year but has conditioned compliance on the
availability of low-sulfur diesel fuel.

Truck manufacturers are also subject to various noise standards
imposed by federal, state and local regulations. The engine is one of a
truck's primary noise sources, and the company, therefore, works closely
with original equipment manufacturers to develop strategies to reduce
engine noise. The company is also subject to the National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Safety Act) and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (Safety Standards) promulgated by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration. The company believes it is in compliance with the
Safety Act and the Safety Standards.

Expenditures to comply with various environmental regulations
relating to the control of air, water and land pollution at production
facilities and to control noise levels and emissions from Transportation's
products have not been material except for two sites formerly owned by the
company, Wisconsin Steel in Chicago, Illinois, and Solar Turbine in San
Diego, California. In 1994, Transportation recorded a $20 million after-
tax charge as a loss of discontinued operations for environmental
liabilities and cleanup cost at these two sites. It is not expected that
the costs of compliance with foreseeable environmental requirements will
have a material effect on the company's financial position or operating
results.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

In the United States and Canada, Transportation owns and operates 9
manufacturing and assembly operations, which contain approximately 9
million square feet of floor space. Four facilities manufacture and
assemble trucks, 2 plants manufacture diesel engines, 2 locations produce
gray iron castings and 1 facility produces molded fiberglass components.
In addition, Transportation owns or leases other significant properties in
the United States and Canada including vehicle and parts distribution
centers, sales offices, an engineering center and its headquarters in
Chicago.

Transportation's principal research and engineering facilities are
located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Melrose Park, Illinois. In addition,
certain research is conducted at its manufacturing plants.

All of Transportation's plants are being utilized and have been
maintained adequately, are in good operating condition and are suitable
for its current needs through productive utilization of the facilities.
These facilities, together with planned capital expenditures, are expected
to meet Transportation's manufacturing needs in the foreseeable future.

A majority of the activity of the financial services operations is
conducted from its leased headquarters in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. The
financial services operations also lease 6 other office locations in the
United States and share office space with other locations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The company and its subsidiaries are subject to various other claims
arising in the ordinary course of business, and are parties to various
legal proceedings which constitute ordinary routing litigation incidental
to the business of the company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of
the company's management, none of these proceedings or claims are material
to the business or the financial condition of the company.
