Don that is interesting ,with so many builders going to 'in house ' engines what will become of cummins?
Over the road class 8 trucks are doing the same.
freightliner - mercedes
volvo /mack - volvo
PACCAR might the only one with a selection?
You can still get a Freightliner with a Cummins, though they try REAL hard to steer you out of it
PACCAR (Peterbilt/Kenworth) is the same - you can get a Cummins but they push those PACCAR engines big time. Problem is they won't release their full software to the public so most diagnostics have to be done at the dealer. I don't pay 7 mechanics just to take it back to the dealer, I'll stick with the Cummins as long as I can get it in a truck. Though the Volvos and Macks I have (4 - 2013 Volvos, 3 2014 Volvos, 4 2015 Volvos and 4 2016 MACKS) seem to pretty good so far.
Anything is better than the 10 2010 CATs I have...only 4 stil run :S
Anyways, got WAY off track....
That will increase. Cummins is being pushed out of the OTR market in the US. DAF engine that has become the PACCAR engine, will be pushed even more. When Scania/MAN eventually takeover Navistar, it will be worse,all MAN engines
