Re: Nissan might bring diesels to the US.
|
I hadn't heard of Nissan Diesels before. Today, I was visisting my mechanic and noticed he was working on a small cabover medium duty truck. It was a "UD" brand, and of course, said NISSAN on the engine. My first sighting. They may be all around us and we just don't know it. Could be interesting to look up UD and see what they are offering, even if it wouldn't fit our application.
UPDATE: Current Nissan Diesel Engines for Light Duty and Medium Duty UD Trucks are rated 175HP/347TQ and 230HP/503TQ respectively. Not great numbers for us, but reputation seems good from what my mechanic shop knew of them. I'd been surprised to hear anything less. Probably very common in Japan.
