Troy Clarke

Yes.

a sequentially such opportunities of so us market. by going Phil advantage our has capacity our we’ve this manufacturing talk the allowed Operations really to to do, with with able me this far footprint flip to manner second I’m us to a of that Christman who increase let minimal a given President cost presented -- been but what So, in to here it is in here minute, a take year been and -- stronger in much

year, or as through we a this constraint might do are the way. capacity industry to looking we As forward. be add to not supply go that Those like could not. face come far in balance don’t nor manufacturing of But, year, Phil, want such, portions to we I been they from any our if the constraints might that has you anticipate know of the so

Phil Christman

No.

appropriately. that think it I covers Troy.

plants, more The and a manufacturing labor. We have constraints additional in capacity our the really matter just it’s in supply related? right industry now adding base of are

David Leiker

duty truck offering? are look the Okay. the in here you and the coming talked about And your is across launches, you portfolio the item the new -- if half. the medium Where product then, in re-launch second portfolio on you second at the

Persio Lisboa

by the that is ago to have MVs, medium the Persio. duty, call single And last successfully the X of all project Horizon The closes what this day that the this we the in the launch products two down the cabs and the promise program. recall way, you the we to Horizon Well, cabs, RH, years cab launched that the we for the Horizon to may MV Class duty. products project medium a MV very from of Horizon, for to kept we the the from to vocational wanted we is us leaper and the vehicles, HVs the of launch now we succession the because last one the had

know, the end the have a the in CV, year, end ‘XX. may Class the different Navistar at at platform, X-X the is you And of which a of So, begin the one. that this as we we is have still production we have last

in deliveries more early next So, year. the

Operator

Thank you. Stifel. And come our next with Baudendistel the from of line question Mike will

line now open. Your is

Mike Baudendistel

I category share market XX-liter the Class your in see by just and XX-liter could wanted category. you. if Thank break down you to X

said, at you was mostly was increase the expense XX-liter. in now but of it -- think I XX-liter the

could great. be that you give that would If breakdown

Michael Cancelliere

Mike, Yes. is Michael this Cancelliere.

throughout share market to continues Class increase our So, X.

year-over-year And As pointed AXX segment. fuel as of XX-liter the series. that in are this of product our out, add steady are XX% at share. prices fuel in our important XX-liter engine LT approximately I see more the rise economy Also, more that that XX-liter we and and to And quarter. economy fuel And the of that would have speaks holding doubled expect a for up number in in particularly orders the we the you the -- continue customers, the segment business. share of we is the the to on to in penetration basis really segment

Troy Clarke

would follow-up the I maybe think bit, of we’ll think the what XX-liter We the now range minus in we or about XX-liter, your take segment, double I’ll -- orders fair neighborhood to we -- and when of right a of sure I the make you kind is than here numbers representation. question, XX-liter doubled, plus ask we it’s share share kind we of and what ahead range of And X%. mark, the the more -- running to call here X%; a in has hit are just which give and start XX%. exact to is more of actually started the of they were running but that in XX% little guys XX%

So, leading indicator. a that’s usually

XX-liter where to it equivalent That be would our is. we’re need of last double So, time this probably then, expectation. be to we XX-liter, launched kind hopefully And year the would up. going, the And it you just double ramping rate next think and having it is expect to again. then year, will at is certainly

Mike Baudendistel

ask expectations expenses wanted on guidance. any just the is CapEx helpful expectation That’s pretty that also the there engineering I and P&L? And you your for with to What encouraging. lower changed run to change there? your through Great.

Troy Clarke

higher. On changes But, efficient in those side, part at to we’ve with additional our on expenses. engineering of CapEx the spending. of second we’re drive on no part that as as little been alliance just that, might we the meantime opportunities CapEx those continuing the very the have Fact the look

put in to of that. taking running capital those of is human what just had capacity So, for full we’re our not And out we’re in year. as much foreseen still projects place. resource to terms to the looking implement do this we It’s kind

Operator

Wells will our the you. from Thank Securities. Casey line next of come with Andy And Fargo question

line now Your is open.

Andy Casey

help a the question dropped decrease? by as like QX I absence had looks corporate on you before about It expense million was sequential tax. million us It of XX Can $XX sequentially charge. with the the that $XX and reported. other finance other the about

Walter Borst

take QX. correctly [ph] us be don’t in pointed activities as is there. The for I the if that offline, could [eliminations] in to let had the refi But, that mind, we biggest Andy. that reduction, it offline, because $XX take probably you you the well need million out sitting

Andy Casey

on for of bit a the half adjusted it addressed you’re then, you EBITDA little pretty for consistent And ‘XX your looking with higher but guidance, second EBITDA revenue, adjusted half. second

So, you have margin lower expectations. the

other So, is to there are we you all any talked should of temporary the consider? that related or headwinds about that expenses

Walter Borst

expenses, as parts also remaining the seen saw we flat freight guided costs the relatively being in quarters base what versus QX. rising in year here temporary and those supply It’s The in we’ve are some to we’ve inefficiencies business, currently. of that the

is margins more between profitable the than mix and that always with Parts Truck segment segment. Truck there flows the this So, segment Parts the segment into the our

So, truck the more have side margins parts been the kind working that that’s its relatively on as the of you’re revenues through increased referencing. way side and flat on

Andy Casey

then Thanks. Okay. question… last And

Troy Clarke

here to of we sure listening talking also close part what be about. might just of is on Before everybody gets that, make kind Walter that

suppliers plant, full out, to LTLs and kind of rather that capacity what we in all experiencing think of the such keep losing running our we’re the transportation, using loads incremental flat are than industry is premium and right, an shipping, premium Given from the I that. like balance

lanes units freight freight day, occasionally. where those especially so year-over-year, forms other end risen. premium keep will by hauling that back to everyday, But, the to an -- the that rates required, prove parts running that is so down eliminating think are can get We basis. do that the we at I units and that are up not on bring costs adjustment, order think using of eventually, an show out. environment them transportation those running, with this we’re running, it’s significantly currently missing that the have plants we an to plants keep in keep and costs So, in miss filled history XX% rates, spot all will And efficient like we’re of just

costs, those that of that’s And Walter levels of of is the is temporary it indicated, industry volume. as one higher so, to as kind adjusting comes

Andy Casey

segment-by-segment kind the and X And I but the the brings I Class within or the answer. all to given the constraints, these there can increase up don’t And expect the Troy. much a are in are think is -- Thanks, it that give production that, line? constraints are pretty I actually that, answer question then, within Okay. constraints you’re product But, any happening it you going board? segments know of across

Troy Clarke

kind mold group, They’re as Class mold is a mold severe we across think our service versus there capacity, of then, okay, a mold injection A or on pretty like board, nothing much the And Class suppliers the many the because is from about opposed the X it’s you constraint -- to there unique as in molders market. -- when the press competitors use a same of just. product otherwise as

out are that volume tremendous turns about truck which suppliers, increase of automotive these processing in they’re that this it they not many suppliers, so, really think suppliers, And through.

And one so, right, make be of to the uniformly, more to takes only not it part kind truck. us because hits able it

chain that link so, pretty you of And find weak the quickly.

Operator
