President Obama was in Wakarusa, Indiana, in Elkhart County on Wednesday to announce $2.4 billion in Recovery Act funds to develop the next generation of fuel efficient cars and trucks, powered by the next generation of battery technologies. The President announced that Navistar - which recently took over two Monaco Coach manufacturing facilities - would receive a $39 million grant to build 400 advanced electric battery trucks.
