Quanta, an infrastructure and energy transition solutions provider, is also the largest specialty electric power grid infrastructure solutions company in North America.
It provides engineering, construction and maintenance services, as well as power and infrastructure assessment for EV charging and related infrastructure. In partnership with Quanta, Navistar will provide International Truck and IC Bus customers with a comprehensive vehicle and charging infrastructure solution that enables fleets to implement battery-electric vehicles quickly and efficiently.
"Our electric vehicles are only as strong as the grid that powers them," said Mathias Carlbaum, president and CEO of Navistar. "The differentiator of this partnership is Quanta's ability to complete site construction and utility work. This allows our team to offer the customer a one-stop-shop approach to all aspects of an EV transition."
The strategic partnership with Quanta will capitalise on Navistar's three-step approach to delivering fully integrated eMobility solutions to customers: consulting, charging and deployment. Together, Navistar and Quanta will analyse, forecast, plan and execute across customers' electrification journey.
"We believe this partnership is uniquely positioned to provide comprehensive EV solutions to Navistar's customers that support their fleet electrification initiatives and enable the transition to a clean energy future,” said Duke Austin, Quanta president and CEO. “Further, we believe this partnership will serve as a catalyst to achieve Quanta and Navistar's shared near-term goal of providing and building the safest medium and heavy-duty trucks in the market using the latest technologies starting in 2024."
