I could see the ISV being used in more motorhomes and light duty commercial trucks. The big thing that Nissan has exclusivity on is the "M2" sequential turbo system that Cummins developed. That was developed specifically for Nissan as the ISV in commercial operations have a traditional valley turbocharger setup. Don't know if the exclusivity is because Nissan asked for it, or if Nissan locked it in as being the sole owner of it. There's a few other small differences between the ISV and Nissan motor, but the blocks are exactly the same.
I commented on that before. A few Motorhome builders would like to use something other than the Ford V10 and Ford chassis's
Looks like the Tiffin Allegro Breeze is using a Cummins 5.0 V8.

I wonder if Cummins would be allowed to sell the new 5.0 to Toyota.
As was stated earlier, apparently Ram has an agreement with Cummins that only they can use the current 6.7.
Seems like Nissan might have the same sort of agreement with them ???
How weird would that be ? - The same US company's diesel in two competing Japanese trucks.
Nissan does NOT have exclusivity to the 5.0.
