Nissan to Equip Next-Generation Titan Pickup with New Cummins Turbo

Fred Diaz Sound Bites on Cummins Turbo Diesel

IRVINE, Calif. – At the kickoff of Nissan 360, an industry showcase of Nissan's global product and technology portfolio, the company announced it will offer a newly-developed Cummins V8 turbo diesel in its next-generation full-size pickup.

Now in the latter stages of development and testing, the available Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel engine has been optimized for the next generation Titan as a result of the partnership between Cummins and Nissan. Cummins also is developing a version of the engine for its commercial vehicle customers.

"We have done our homework on the next-generation Titan. Truck owners told us there's a demand for the performance and torque of a diesel in a capable truck that doesn't require the jump up to a heavy-duty commercial pickup," said Fred Diaz, divisional vice president, Nissan Sales & Marketing, Service & Parts, Nissan North America. "There is no question that the new Titan will turn heads, and with the available Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel, we expect to win new fans and attract buyers looking for this unique configuration."

Nissan has previously announced the next-generation Titan will add powertrain options and cab-and-box configurations to broaden the appeal of the new truck when it comes to market.

"We are very excited to partner with Nissan on the introduction of the Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel to the North American pickup truck market," said Dave Crompton, vice president, Cummins Engine Business. "This new engine will offer the right balance of power, performance and fuel economy while delivering the dependability that customers expect of a Cummins engine. This will be a great package."

With a torque rating in the mid-500s (lb-ft) and more than 300 horsepower, the Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel will provide light truck customers the combination of towing capacity and mileage that is expected in the highly-competitive North American truck marketplace.

The Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel will be built in America's manufacturing heartland at the Columbus Engine Plant, in Columbus, Ind., Cummins headquarters. This plant has the latest technological innovations to continue the 90-plus year tradition of building the highest quality Cummins engines.

The Titan program is being led by teams in Nissan Americas' headquarters in Franklin, Tenn., while engineering and testing is performed by Nissan Technical Center North America in Farmington Hills, Mich. and Stanfield, Ariz. as well as Nissan's global engineering center. Design is being led by Nissan Design America in La Jolla, Calif.

Like the current model, the next-generation Titan will be built at Nissan's Canton, Miss. vehicle assembly plant and its gasoline engines cast, forged and assembled at Nissan's Decherd, Tenn. powertrain plant.

For competitive reasons, Nissan is not announcing launch dates at this stage in the truck's development, however engineering prototype trucks powered by the Cummins engine are currently undergoing extensive on-public-highway performance and durability testing.

Further information on the upcoming Titan truck and Cummins engine will be released at a later date.

Westport Wing for 2014 F150 Pickups

August 3, 2013 in NGVs by Rich Piellisch  

Watch for a Unit with Full Cargo Bed (All Tanks Stowed Below)
Westport confirms that its will offer Ford F-150 pickups converted to compressed natural gas operation with the Westport WiNG system, in both the U.S. and Canada, with deliveries expected to commence in the first quarter of 2014.

Westport confirmed Thursday that it will offer a CNG version
of the Ford F-150 pickup for 2014.

Westport Innovations (Toronto:WPT and NASDAQ:WPRT) dramatically expanded its Ford natural gas vehicle line-up with the acquisition of Dallas-based BAF Technologies and its subsidiary ServoTech Engineering late last month.

BAF, Westport notes, is Ford’s largest partner under the manufacturer’s Qualified Vehicle Modifier program, with more than ten vehicle products and approximately 150 Ford-authorized dealerships. BAF offers trucks with all CNG storage underneath, freeing the full pickup bed for cargo.

Ford Announced 3.7-Liter Gas-Prep V-6
Ford confirmed this week that it is offering a gaseous-prep version of its 3.7-liter V-6 engine, clearing the way for QVM-warranted CNG-fueled F-150 sales.

“Our customers have been anticipating the availability of a natural gas version of Ford’s flagship pick-up truck, and as we believe Westport has the largest portfolio of Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM) products, this will give us even greater options for fleets and consumers,” Westport VP John Lapetz said in a release.

“Ford has recognized the market demand and responded by adding one of its most popular models to the natural gas line-up.”

Ford offers the base vehicle with a factory-installed, gaseous-fuel prep package that includes hardened valves, valve seats, pistons and rings allowing it to operate on either natural gas or gasoline.

“The Westport WiNG powered Ford F-150 will offer customers a range of options to meet their needs, in a variety of cab, bed and driveline configurations,” the upfitter says.

Westport promises F-150 pricing and ordering details in September.
