Cummins Extends Agreement With Chrysler
Cummins has extended its multiyear agreement with Chrysler Group. Cummins will supply 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel engines for Ram Heavy Duty pickups and Chassis Cab trucks, while continuing to grow its partnership with Chrysler.
Reportedly, Cummins has produced over 1.7 million Turbo Diesel engines for Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks since 1989. Today, the company claims, over 80% of Ram Heavy Duty truck customers purchase their truck with the Cummins Turbo Diesel.
The company's 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel delivers 350 hp (261 kW) and 650 lb-ft (881 Nm) of torque. This amounts to 118% increase in horsepower and 86% increase in torque, compared to previous versions, along with reducing exhaust emissions by 90%.
The company said that in 2007, Dodge and Cummins have produced the cleanest heavy-duty diesel pickup by meeting US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2010 emissions levels three years in advance.
Dave Crompton, VP and general manager of Midrange Engine Business at Cummins, said: Cummins and Chrysler have a long and important history together. The Chrysler business continues to be a key part of our MidRange engine business. Cummins is proud to supply engines for the award-winning Ram Heavy Duty and to continue working with Chrysler to develop best-in-class products that customers can trust and depend on now and in the future.
