kscarbel Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Transport Topics / February 6, 2014Nissan and engine maker Cummins Inc. unveiled a diesel-powered Nissan Frontier pickup at the Chicago Auto Show but stressed that the truck is just a “technical study.”The Nissan Frontier Diesel Runner is powered by a 2.8-liter Cummins turbo diesel engine that is currently in concept form, Nissan said in a statement. Developed at the Cummins Technical Center in Columbus, Ind., the engine produces approximately 200 horsepower and more than 350 pound-feet of torque. The engine was installed in a 2-wheel drive midsize Frontier to “evaluate the viability of this package for North America,” Nissan said.“The Nissan Frontier is a great platform to demonstrate the potential of a Cummins-powered compact pickup for the U.S. market, and this project will help to gauge market reaction and evaluate future plans,” said Dave Crompton, vice president and general manager of Cummins’ engine business.The companies also are partnering on a 5.0-liter diesel that will be available in the next generation of Nissan’s Titan full-size pickup.http://www.dieselpowermag.com/tech/dodge/1109dp_new_cummins_four_cylinder_diesel_engine/http://www.automobilemag.com/features/news/cummins-advanced-testing-four-cylinder-diesel-engine-48041/photo_00.htmlhttp://www.ttnews.com/articles/lmtbase.aspx?storyid=2696&t=Nissan-Reveals-Cummins-Powered-Concept-Truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
