The
5-litre V8 diesel engine, originally slated for Chrysler, is ‘currently in
development’, according to sources at Cummins Inc. in Columbus, Indiana.
A company spokesman said
Cummins was ‘not ready’ to discuss engine details (like bore and stroke)
publicly, adding ‘We are currently formulating broad communications plans and
would rather not say any more about this engine program at this time’.
He added: ‘As an
independent engine supplier, Cummins constantly pursues all potential customers
at various levels. In the on-highway world, Cummins typically will let a major OEM
announce the availability of our engines before we discuss details of the
engine with the media.’
