Foton will push mass production of high-end light truck Futian Cummins joint venture engine this month
The Foton Cummins joint venture engine will be in volume production this month, and it will be first matched to the OMARCO light truck. The reporter learned from Futian yesterday that Omar light trucks equipped with Cummins 3.8L engines will be launched in the middle and late of this month, starting at more than RMB 11 million. This will also be the first high-end light truck launched by Foton.
Wang Xiangyin, general manager of Foton Motor Marketing Co., Ltd., said that the 3.8L engine that is matched to Omarco is the first light diesel engine Cummins has introduced worldwide. Therefore, this product will also be exported as a global model overseas. This year, Cummins will be equipped. In addition to satisfying domestic demand, the dynamic Omarco will also export to 10 to 15 countries. This year, it plans to sell 10,000 vehicles at home and abroad.
The matching Cummins 3.8L diesel engine emission reached the Euro IV standard and had the potential for Euro 5 upgrade. The fuel consumption was 5%-7% lower than that of similar brands, and the maximum power was increased by 10-20KW. In addition, the 2.8L Cummins engine will be in volume production later this year and will also be matched to Omar.
