That's neat... but Nissan is building some absolutely ugly vehicles. I saw their new van the other day... 
The Cummins exclusivity contract must not extend to half ton trucks....?

I agree the vans are ugly especially the tall ones, but they do look better than the Ford Transit Connects

I'd rather have a Dodge, honestly. I don't care what's under the hood, it's still a hideous truck all together.

i wonder what trans they will run with it?
as it stands now a nissan trans will cost you almost twice as much as ford/chevy/dodge. (at least in my shop)

Been out of the Cummins fold for a few months now, but the last I had heard of this it was a V-6 motor.
(Honestly I cant imagine why CMI would produce a 5.0 V8...absolutely stupid decision if true)
They were working with both Aisin (EU) and Allison (NA) on transmission options.
It (the trans) will not be a true Nissan product, I dont think.
Also the numbers in the article seem strange. The plan, as I understood it, was a 30mpg 4WD 1/2ton truck. Those HP numbers wouldnt achieve plan and would ruin Nissan's CAFE standards.
Oh, Shawn. The exclusivity is through 14 model year. From there Cummins wants in the 1/2ton market. RAM (different ownership than Dodge/Chrysler now dont forget) doesnt want to play. CMI is going into the half ton market.
Like many of their recent decision, its a curious one at best. I cashed out some 1,100 shares of CMI back in May for just that reason.
