Cummins maintains the new 400-horsepower, 6.7-litre inline six-cylinder turbodiesel engine is the first engine to break the four-figure torque barrier and has upgrades, including new block, pistons, cylinder head and valvetrain.
“We are grateful to Ram Truck for choosing Cummins-powered engines for 30-plus years and we look forward to a long partnership,” added Cummins Pickup Business executive director, Melina Kennedy.
Cummins’ Columbus Mid-Range Engine Plant (CMEP) is 600,000 sq ft, employs 900 people and has the capacity to produce 168,000 engines a year.
The purchaser of the Ram with the 3-millionth engine will be identified after the truck is built.
Ram is planning a celebration of the completed truck at the dealership involved at a later date.
