New Cummins V-8 developed for Nissan Titan, but other medium-duty applications abound

摘要

In early October Cummins unveiled its much anticipated ISV5.0 diesel engine, a compact V-8 model destined for numerous medium- and light-duty applications, including the Nissan Titan 1/2-ton pickup. Pickup truck specs will be announced later by Nissan, but with a modified air handling system these engines are expected to have about 300 horsepower and 550 foot-pounds of torque. Cummins also announced the horsepower and torque specs for the ISV5.0 in commercial applications. There are several iterations, but the spread is 200 to 275 horsepower and 520 to 550 foot-pounds of torque.
