Who wrote that?

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.

They would have to get 62 mpg by 2025. Hopefully I have a new hobby by then because I can't imagine how much they would have to ruin these trucks to get that kind of mpg out of them

I agree.

I read an article where cummins will use steem from the exhasut for some extra power.

Gotta pick at ya alittle bit on the misspelling. I pasted it to Word and done a spell check and the only thing it caught as "ecoboost" and "turbocharger". Maybe you've been reading our posts too long!

"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.

...but wait there's more...(rumors)

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.
