Cummins extends engine agreement with Chrysler

Columbus, Indiana – Cummins has announced a multi-year extension of its current agreement with Chrysler to supply 6.7-litre turbodiesel engines for Ram Heavy-Duty pickups and chassis cabin trucks.

Cummins has produced over 1.7 million engines for Dodge trucks since 1989, and today, over 80 per cent of Ram Heavy Duty customers purchase their trucks with diesel engines.

The first Cummins turbodiesel was used in the 1989 Ram, with projected sales of fewer than 5,000 engines, but actual sales exceeded 20,000 units in the first year.
