There are a lot more companies in the world making good diesels than Cummins and Cat and a lot of these engines are in fact, world engines. North Americans need to get out more. Even the new Cruze diesel has some Luigi in its heart.
Understatement of the Century. I walked past a Construction site where Hitachi Diggers, Komatsu graders and a Scania Dumper were working.
All make their own diesels Scania is supplying its engines for Terex Mining Transport Trucks.
Cummins is not a default engine in Western Europe or Asia. Used a to have a substantial prescence after WW2, but not anymore.Vertical Integration means companies have their own engines fitted.
