Another diesel for ford power products: second power stroke added to product line, 2.8 L from south America rated 135 hp

摘要

Continuing its expansion as a supplier of industrial engines, Ford Power Products has announced the addition of a second diesel engine to its product line. Beginning in 2003, the Dearborn, Mich., company will offer a 2.8 L Power Stroke diesel engine, which joins a 7.3 L Power Stroke that was added to the Ford range in 2001. The Power Stroke engines are manufactured by International Truck & Engine Corp. at plants in South America. Under an agreement originally between Ford and Maxion International Motores, Canoas, Brazil, Ford was granted North American marketing rights to the engines, which are used in automotive applications in South America and Europe. Following the original agreement, Maxion was purchased by International, which had owned a 50 percent stake in Maxion at the time of the Ford agreement.
