Picked up a link to this story on another forum.......looks interesting, to say the least!

Cummins is developing a high-efficiency inline-four-cylinder diesel engine with money from the U.S. Department of Energy and in partnership with Nissan for demonstration in the Titan light-duty pickup truck. The project was announced at the DOE’s 2011 Merit Review in Washington, D.C..

That would really take people by surprise to have a pickup with power and that kind of economy.

The engines already developed. Its just the packaging that needs work.

It is gonna be a pretty sick setup though. If it wasn't a nissan i'd buy one with my employee discount.
