Does Ford own Cummins?
>The unsubstantiated rumor that refuses to die....
No kidding!
Now, Daimler/Chrysler Corp. owns:
Mercedes Benz
Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth
Freightliner Corp.
Detroit Diesel Corp.
Western Star Trucks
Sterling(Formerly Ford Heavy Truck)
American LaFrance
Contractually, You would think Dodge would have Detroit Diesel engines in their light trucks, but they are under contract with Cummins, and Ford Heavy Truck got swallowed up by Freightliner about the same time that Roger Penske sold his share of Detroit Diesel Corp. to Freightliner, which is owned by Daimler/Chrysler who also owns Mercedes, who make Diesel Engines as well. I hope this confused You...I tried
