Uhhh? How do you know that a Holset Only works on US engines????
Because I used to work for Cummins and I have also worked with PACCAR, both on the Kenworth and Peterbilt side, for the past 15 years.
Fantastic where is the proof???? Post links to Cummins involvement in the PACCAR engine
I did earlier with a picture of the Cummins made turbo on the MX-13. How does a Cummins turbo get on a PACCAR engine without involvement from Cummins?
However, if you want to here it from the CEO of PACCAR at the time of the MX release then here you go.
"Paccar chairman & CEO Mark C. Pigott introduced the new engine family and discussed the reasons why the company was ready, willing and able to bring a major new product to production, even during the worst economic recession in 70 years.
“Not many companies are introducing new products now,” Pigott said, noting that Paccar’s “excellent balance sheet and strong cash flow” enabled the company to continue to invest in development, even during the recession. “Our competitors have lost two to three years of development time,” he observed.
“We have had 71 consecutive years of net profit,” Pigott said, “and paid a cash dividend every year since 1941.” Paccar shareholders have seen a 19.1% annual return for the past decade, compared to the S&P 500 annual return of negative 1.0%. Pigott cited the company’s 106-year commitment to “quality, technology, innovation and delivering an excellent return to shareholders” as the reason for its strength and success today and the foundation upon which the new engine was developed, adding that “in our quest to become the best, we’ve also become one of the biggest-- a nice surprise.”
During his remarks, Pigott had high praise for Cummins, Inc., a long-time engine supplier to Paccar and a development partner in the MX project. “The Cummins group has been the best partner in the world,” he noted. The new MX will incorporate Cummins components, including their turbocharger, and Cummins engines will continue to be available for Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks.
Paccar officially rolls out MX engine for Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks
So again, Cummins helped develop the MX engine and saying that is was DAF only is false.
