believe it's been discussed before, but a 4 cylinder version of the 6 cylinder 6.7 Cummins would seem to make an excellent candidate for a mid-sized diesel (4.5 liters). The R&D and productions costs would be dramatically lower vs. a totally new design.
That is what the Tector is. Fiat and Cummins co developed the 5.9 Litre diesels as part of the European Advanced engine project (EEA)then went their separate ways.
4.5, 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins and CNH upgrades
CNH and Cummins Divorce
The EEA/Iveco 6.7L has replaced the 5.9L CDC in the Dodge trucks but has a Cummins badge on it, will that all change now with Cummins out of the EEA? Will FPT now sell direct to Daimler and leave Cummins out of the picture. Wait and see I guess
Since Cummins was a partner in the EEA which developed the 6.7L that is obvious they would brand/sell it.
