Where does this come from?
The Eco-Diesel is not related to the Cummins in any way except Ram has both engines in their lineup.
"The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 comes to these shores courtesy of VM Motori, a longtime Italian marine-diesel-engine builder and former affiliate of Fiat. Ownership is now, interestingly enough, split 50/50 between Chrysler/Fiat and General Motors. Yes, GM."
It is possible we may see the same Eco-Diesel in a GM vehicle.
Nah, since then GM sold out its share in VM Motori to Fiat.
Ford owns Cummins and leases the rights to Ram. GM owns VM and leases the rights to Ram. I guess that is why the R&D department is so empty at Chrysler. :)
Now how long until someone pulls up the Cummins prospectus just to be the first to prove this wrong.
OK, you're joking, but on the internet any statement can take on a certain "truthiness".:) So here's the Fiat-GM link: http://www.autonews.com/article/20131028/OEM10/131029887/fiat-buys-remainder-of-diesel-maker-vm-motori-from-gm
