The US pickup truck market looks to be evolving
further as Cummins and Nissan chose the Chicago Auto Show to unveil their ‘technical
study’ known as the Nissan Frontier Diesel Runner.
Following the decision by Chrysler
to engine its Ram 1500 pickup truck with the VM Motori V6 diesel engine (using
a compacted graphite iron (CGI) cylinder block) and the arrival of the new
crown-bearing Ford F-150 pickup truck with a brand new 2.7-litre V6 gasoline engine
(also with a CGI block), Cummins and Nissan have decided to cement their
relationship further with the new ‘concept’ truck
