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 consolidated subsidiaries.

Navistar operates in three principal industry segments: truck, engine
(collectively called "manufacturing operations") and financial services. The
company's truck segment is engaged in the manufacture and marketing of medium
and heavy trucks, including school buses. The company's engine segment is
engaged in the design and manufacture of mid-range diesel engines. The truck
segment operates primarily in the United States (U.S.) and Canada as well as in
Mexico, Brazil and other selected export markets while the engine segment
operates primarily in the U.S. and Brazil. Based on assets and revenues, the
truck and engine segments represent the majority of the company's business
activities. The financial services operations consist of Navistar Financial
Corporation (NFC), its domestic insurance subsidiary and the company's foreign
finance and insurance subsidiaries. Industry and geographic segment data for
1999, 1998 and 1997 is summarized in Note 13 to the Financial Statements, which
is incorporated herein by reference.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

The following table illustrates the percentage of the company's sales of
products and services by segment based on dollar amount:

YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31,
-----------------------------------------

PRODUCT CLASS 1999 1998 1997
- ------------- ---- ---- ----

Class 5, 6 and 7 medium trucks
and school buses............. 32% 33% 33%
Class 8 heavy trucks.............. 37 38 35

Engine (including service parts) . 19 17 18
Financial services................ 4 3 4

Total........................ 100% 100% 100%
=== === ====


The truck segment manufactures and distributes a full line of
diesel-powered trucks and school buses in the common carrier, private carrier,
government/service, leasing, construction, energy/petroleum and student
transportation markets. The truck segment also provides customers with
proprietary products needed to support the International truck and bus lines,
together with a wide selection of other standard truck and trailer aftermarket
parts. The company offers diesel-powered trucks and school buses because of
their improved fuel economy, ease of serviceability and greater durability over
gasoline-powered vehicles.




PAGE 4

The truck and bus manufacturing operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and
Brazil consist principally of the assembly of components manufactured by its
suppliers, although the company produces its own mid-range diesel truck engines,
sheet metal components (including cabs) and miscellaneous other parts.

The engine segment designs and manufactures diesel engines for use in the
company's Class 5, 6 and 7 medium trucks and school buses and selected Class 8
heavy truck models, and for sale to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in
the U.S. and Mexico. This segment also sells engines for industrial,
agricultural and marine applications. In addition, the engine segment provides
customers with proprietary products needed to support the International engine
lines, together with a wide selection of other standard engine and aftermarket
parts. In February 1999, Navistar acquired a 50% interest in Maxion
International Motores, S.A., the largest producer of diesel engines in South
America. The joint venture produces the current Maxion products in addition to
the Navistar 7.3 liter (7.3L) V-8 Turbo Diesel Engine. Based upon information
published by R.L. Polk & Company, diesel-powered Class 5, 6 and 7 medium truck
and bus shipments represented 90.4% of all medium shipments for fiscal 1999 in
the U.S. and Canada.

The financial services segment provides retail, wholesale and lease
financing of products sold by the truck segment and its dealers within the U.S.
as well as the company's wholesale accounts and selected retail accounts
receivable. NFC's insurance subsidiary provides commercial physical damage and
liability insurance to the truck segment's dealers and retail customers and to
the general public through an independent insurance agency system. The foreign
finance subsidiaries' primary business is to provide wholesale, retail and lease
financing to the Mexican operations' dealers and retail customers.

THE MEDIUM AND HEAVY TRUCK INDUSTRY

The markets in which Navistar competes are subject to considerable
volatility as they move in response to cycles in the overall business
environment and are 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 the
efficiency and specifications of equipment.

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

YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31,

Communications in the U.S. and the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association.

The company's first full year of operations in Mexico was 1997. Industry
retail deliveries of Class 5 through 8 trucks and school buses in the Mexican
market were 23,300 units, 21,800 units and 15,600 units in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, based on monthly data provided by the Associacion Nacional de
Productores de Autobuses, Camiones y Tractocamiones.




PAGE 5

The company's first full year of operations in Brazil was 1999. Industry
retail deliveries of Class 5 through 8 trucks in the Brazilian market were
44,300 units in 1999.

The Class 5 through 8 truck markets in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil
are highly competitive. Major U.S. domestic competitors include PACCAR, Ford and
General Motors, as well as foreign-controlled domestic manufacturers, such as
Freightliner and Sterling (DaimlerChrysler), Mack (Renault) and Volvo. In
addition, manufacturers from Japan such as Hino, Isuzu, Nissan and Mitsubishi
are competing in the U.S. and Canadian markets. In Mexico, the major domestic
competitors are Kenmex (PACCAR) and Mercedes (DaimlerChrysler). In Brazil, the
competition is with Mercedes (DaimlerChrysler), Volkswagon, Scania and Volvo.
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.

The company's truck segment currently estimates $460 million in capital
spending and $190 million in development expense through 2004 for development of
its next generation vehicles.

TRUCK MARKET SHARE

The company delivered 119,300 Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school
buses, in the U.S. and Canada in fiscal 1999, a 5% increase from the 113,900
units delivered in 1998. Navistar's 1999 market share of 25.6% in the combined
U.S. and Canadian Class 5 through 8 truck market was constrained by the fact
that continued industry demand for heavy and medium trucks outstripped system
capacity. The company's market share in 1998 was 29.1%.

The company delivered 4,800 Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school
buses, in Mexico in 1999, a 17% increase from the 4,100 units delivered in 1998.
Navistar's combined share of the Class 5 through 8 truck market in Mexico was
20.7% in 1999 and 18.7% in 1998.

The company delivered 500 trucks in Brazil in 1999. Navistar's share of the
truck market in Brazil was 1.0% in 1999.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

Navistar's truck products are distributed in virtually all key markets in
the U.S. and Canada. The company's truck distribution and service network in
these countries was composed of 927, 945 and 954 dealers and retail outlets at
October 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Included in these totals were
517, 524 and 514 secondary and associate locations at October 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The company also has a dealer network in Mexico composed of
60, 44 and 38 dealer locations at October 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
and a dealer network in Brazil composed of 14 dealer locations at October 31,
1999, and six dealer locations at October 31, 1998.

Retail dealer activity is supported by five regional operations in the U.S.
and general offices in Canada, Mexico and Brazil. The company has a national
account sales group, responsible for 94 major U.S. national account customers.
Navistar's network of 15 Used Truck Centers in the U.S. provides trade-in
support to the company's dealers and national accounts group, and markets all
makes and models of reconditioned used trucks to owner-operators and fleet
buyers. Trucks, components and service parts are exported for wholesale and
retail sale to more than 70 countries around the world.

In the U.S. and Canada, the company operates seven regional parts
distribution centers, which allow it to offer 24 hour availability and same day
shipment of the parts most frequently requested by customers. The company also
operates parts distribution centers in Mexico and Brazil.

ENGINE AND FOUNDRY

Navistar 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.

Navistar has an agreement to supply its 7.3L electronically controlled
diesel engine to Ford Motor Company (Ford) through the year 2002 for use in
all of Ford's diesel-powered light trucks and vans. Shipments to Ford account
for approximately 91% of the engine segment's 7.3L shipments. Total engine
units shipped reached 374,200 in 1999, a 25% increase over 1998. This excludes
the 48,200 units shipped by Maxion International Motores, S.A., the company's
50% joint venture in Brazil. The company's shipments of engines to all OEMs
totaled 286,500 units in 1999, an increase of 34% from the 213,700 units
shipped in 1998. During 1997, Navistar entered into a 10-year agreement,
effective with model year 2003, to supply Ford with a successor engine to the
current 7.3L product for use in its diesel-powered super duty trucks and
vans (over 8,500 lbs. GVW). In March 1998, the company was selected by Ford to
negotiate an extended agreement to supply diesel engines for certain under
8,500 lbs. GVW light duty trucks and sport utility vehicles, such as the Ford
Expedition, F-150 and F-250 pick-ups and Econoline 150 and 250 van models. To
support this program the company has announced plans to open an engine
assembly operation in Huntsville, Alabama.

The company has approved a plan for up to $500 million in capital spending
over the next four years in order to manufacture a next generation version of
diesel engines. In addition, approximately $120 million of development expense
was approved for the development of these engines. Included in these amounts are
the company's planned investment in Huntsville, Alabama.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

NFC is a financial services organization that provides wholesale, retail
and lease financing of new and used trucks sold by the company and its dealers
in the U.S. NFC also finances the company's wholesale accounts and selected
retail accounts receivable. Sales of new products (including trailers) of other
manufacturers are also financed regardless of whether designed or customarily
sold for use with the company's truck products. During 1999 and 1998, NFC
provided wholesale financing for 96% and 95%, respectively, of the new truck
units sold by the company to its dealers and distributors in the U.S., and
retail and lease financing for 16% of all new truck units sold or leased by the
company to retail customers in both 1999 and 1998.

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

Navistar's wholly owned subsidiaries, Arrendadora Financiera Navistar,
Servicios Financieros Navistar and Navistar Comercial, provide wholesale,
retail and lease financing to the truck segment's dealers and customers in
Mexico.

Harbour Assurance Company of Bermuda Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of
the company, 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 company policies.

IMPORTANT SUPPORTING OPERATIONS

Navistar International Corporation Canada has an agreement with a
subsidiary of General Electric Capital Canada, Inc. to provide financing for
Canadian dealers and customers.




PAGE 7

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 $207 million, $138 million and $85 million
for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

BACKLOG

The backlog of unfilled truck orders (subject to cancellation or return in
certain events) at October 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, was $3,352 million, $4,505
million and $2,360 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 18,600, 17,600 and 16,200 individuals at October 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, worldwide.

LABOR RELATIONS

At October 31, 1999, the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural
Implement Workers of America (UAW) represented 9,100 of the company's active
employees in the U.S., and the National Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural
Implement Workers of Canada (CAW) represented 2,100 of the company's active
employees in Canada. Other unions represented 800 of the company's active
employees in the U.S. and 800 of the company's active employees in Mexico. The
company's master contract with the UAW expires on October 1, 2002. In June 1999,
a new collective bargaining agreement was ratified by the CAW which expires on
June 1, 2002. The contract allows the company to improve productivity through
better use of work assignments and manpower utilization.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

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

Navistar'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, Navistar maintains, or
has pending, registrations of its primary trademarks in those countries in which
it does business or expects to do business.




PAGE 8

RAW MATERIALS AND ENERGY SUPPLIES

The company purchases raw materials, parts and components from numerous
outside suppliers, but relies upon some suppliers for a substantial number of
components for its truck and engine products. A majority of the company'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. The company's
exposure in Mexico and Brazil to an interruption in local supply could result in
an inability to meet local content requirements.

Strong demand for International trucks coupled with record industry demand
continues to outpace Navistar's near term capacity as well as the capacity of
some key suppliers. Process improvements and capacity expansions are being
implemented to enhance the company's ability to meet customer demand for its
products.

Navistar is currently meeting demand for International engines, for both
International truck and OEMs. There are currently no engine component supplier
capacity issues. The expansion of engine capacity in Brazil and in Huntsville,
Alabama will enable Navistar to meet any future external customer needs in the
light truck diesel market for the foreseeable future.




PAGE 9

IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Truck and engine manufacturers continue to face heavy 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,
development and tooling costs to design its engine product lines to meet United
States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and California Air Resources
Board (CARB) emission standards that will come into effect after the turn of the
century. The company intends to provide engines that satisfy CARB's emission
standards effective in 2002 for engines used in vehicles from 8,501 to 14,000
lbs. GVW, as well as heavy-duty engines that comply with more stringent CARB and
U.S. EPA emission standards, promulgated in 1997, for 2004 and later model
years. At the same time, Navistar expects to be able to meet all of the
obligations it agreed to in the Consent Decree signed in October 1998 with the
U.S. EPA and in a Settlement Agreement with CARB concerning alleged excess
emissions of nitrogen oxides.

Rulemaking is currently underway for emission standards for light and
heavy-duty engines for 2004 and later model years. Navistar is actively
participating in these rulemakings to ensure that its products can comply.

In November 1999, CARB promulgated new emission standards for light-duty
diesel engines which cover Navistar's new V-6 diesel engines. On the basis of
available technology, compliance with the 2007 standards is dependent upon the
availability of low sulfur diesel fuel. Navistar believes that CARB has exceeded
its statutory authority in promulgating these emission standards and in November
1999 filed suit to overturn them. Even if the emission standards are not
overturned, Navistar does not believe they will have a material effect on the
company's financial condition or operating results.

Canadian and Mexican heavy-duty engine emission regulations essentially
mirror those of the U.S. EPA, except that compliance in Mexico is conditioned on
availability of low-sulfur diesel fuel. The company's engines comply with
Canadian and Mexican emission regulations, as well as those of Brazil.

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 OEMs 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 the company'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, the
company 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 condition or
operating results.




PAGE 10

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

In North America, the company owns and operates 10 manufacturing and
assembly operations which contain approximately 10 million square feet of floor
space. Of these 10 facilities, six plants manufacture and assemble trucks, and
four plants are used by the company's engine segment, of which two manufacture
diesel engines and two produce grey iron castings. In addition, the company owns
or leases other significant properties in the U.S. and Canada including vehicle
and parts distribution centers, sales offices and two engineering centers, which
serve the company's truck and engine segments, and its headquarters which is
located in Chicago. The company's truck assembly facility located in Escobedo,
Mexico is encumbered by a lien in favor of certain lenders of the company as
collateral for a $125 million revolving loan agreement.

The truck segment's principal research and engineering facility is located
in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the engine segment's facility is located in Melrose
Park, Illinois. In addition, certain research is conducted at each of the
company's manufacturing plants.

All of the company's plants are being utilized and have been adequately
maintained, are in good operating condition and are suitable for its current
needs through productive utilization of the facilities. In 1999, the company
announced plans for a new plant in Huntsville, Alabama, to produce new high
technology diesel engines. These facilities, together with planned capital
expenditures, are expected to meet the company'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 U.S.
and one in Mexico.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The company and its subsidiaries are subject to various claims arising in
the ordinary course of business, and are parties to various legal proceedings
which constitute ordinary routine 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.
