what's your problem. All the m...@Alan Bunting <br /><br />what's your problem. All the manufactureres are working forward to future!<br /><br />All the manufactureres are going to CGI. May Iveco and Cummins are not going close. The whole world know Scania and Cummins are very close together!<br /><br />So what you are talking about. An Illusion. Of Course! Fiat or especially the Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT) in Switherland making the conditions of new engines. They would never meet that, what Scania does in Europe. Here it's quite diffent to north american choose of Trucks. Here we decide the label and get the engine, the transmission and also the rest of a truck and it's more reliable of this you will get, but you will pay less for buying but the life cycle costs are much higher!<br /><br />Yours <br />Karsten<br />from this shit german market, where you can't talk about!

In 2007, Cummins announced an increase in the swept volume of its six-cylinder ISB engine from 5.9 to 6.7 litres. But the company refused to disclose to the media how the extra capacity was apportioned between bore and stroke. <br />Why the cloak and dagger stuff? <br />It all hinged around the soured relations between Cummins and Iveco-Fiat. In 1996 the two parties created what was known as the European Engine Alliance (EEA), under which the American and Italian partners would co-operate in developing four- and six-cylinder mid-range diesels, using Cummins' B-series units as a 'baseline'.<br />What emerged were two very similar engine ranges, dubbed ISBe by Cummins and Tector by Iveco. The main innovation was the adoption of common-rail fuelling by both partners.<br />Under the terms of the accompanying marketing agreement, neither partner would encroach on the other's existing sales territory. But before too long Cummins found that Iveco had been knocking on the doors of its (Cummins') - mainly off-highway - OEM customers, offering its Tector engines more cheaply than their ISBe counterparts. <br />The ensuing furore was hushed up, but Cummins stopped its technical collaboration with the Italians so that, when the time came to up the capacity of the ISB engines, the nitty-gritty details were purposely kept secret.<br />However, eventually some three years later Tector cylinder size was increased to come into line with the Cummins dimensions. <br />Despite the spat, Cummins draws satisfaction that, in Europe, DAF LF middleweight trucks powered by its ISB engines have usurped Iveco's Tector-engined EuroCargo as market leaders in important territories, notably the UK. <br /> Alan Buntingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391255626232385293.post-51492513702354860182016-03-10T22:44:42.815+00:002016-03-10T22:44:42.815+00:00You find the Tupy sourced block at Sintercast web-...You find the Tupy sourced block at Sintercast web-siteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391255626232385293.post-69153389028847305482016-03-10T22:41:42.795+00:002016-03-10T22:41:42.795+00:00The 3l is doublesourced Bruhl and Tupy.
