Ford doesn't use Alison (sic) transmissions, nor has Ford "teamed up" with Cummins for diesel engines, except maybe in some of there significantly larger trucks (like F-650 or better, I don't recall right now).
Short on facts, chock full of misspelled words. I would expect much better than that from an article on FTE. That's just sad.

"Chock full" is an exaggeration, at least when it comes to spelling. It was certainly chock full of misinformation, as near as I can tell.
I did catch "Alison" instead of "Allison" and "resent" instead of "recent", however.

the 2010 Cummins in Ford contract is true - Diesel Power Forums at Diesel Power Magazine
This forum seems to agree that Ford is selling medium duty trucks in South America with a Cummins diesel.

In Brazil.
The original, badly written article filled with misinformation, implies that Ford is working with Cummins, and using Allison transmissions, in order to meet US emission standards.
That ain't gonna happen.
The only new thing the article got right is that Ford is apparently developing an 8 speed automatic transmission.
