Navistar Donates International Medium Duty Truck To Kentucky Harvest

Louisville, Kentucky (March 14, 2008) - A previously-owned International 4300 medium-duty commercial truck joined the Kentucky Harvest team to pick up and deliver food to those who are hungry throughout Metro Louisville and the surrounding areas.

Navistar International Corporation, the company that manufactures the International brand of commercial trucks, presented the donated vehicle to Kentucky Harvest founder Stan Curtis in the name of The Cup Experience at a press conference hosted this morning by Metro Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson at Fourth Street Live! in downtown Louisville.

"We are pleased to know that one of our medium-duty trucks will be going to ultimately assist those in need," said David Johanneson, Navistar executive vice president of sales, marketing and distribution. "We are proud to support the Kentucky Harvest and the people of Kentucky."

The International 4300 Low Profile truck features a lower platform for improved driver entry and egress, as well as easier access to cargo. It is equipped with an International DT466 engine and a 6-speed Allison automatic transmission. The truck maintains a 14-foot clearance and 25,500-pound gross vehicle weight.

"This event marks the first charitable donation generated by The Cup Experience," Abramson said. "We appreciate the generosity of Navistar, joining the well-establish spirit of giving and caring in our community by supporting Kentucky Harvest."

"It's all about the food," Curtis said. "Through the generosity of Navistar, the staff and volunteers of Kentucky Harvest will be more efficient at picking up food that might otherwise go to waste and feeding hungry people in the Commonwealth of Kentucky."

Through the charitable donation, International becomes the official truck of The Cup Experience.
