Nissan may offer diesel Titan

JayC · 12-08-2005, 10:09 AM

Nissan Motor Co. is likely to offer a diesel engine in its Titan pickup. Toyota Motor Corp. also is studying diesels for large pickups and SUVs.

"Diesels make sense on the large pickups and large SUVs, particularly in the fight on CO2," Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said. "I think diesels will come to the U.S. market, through large pickups and large SUVs and probably some luxury cars from the German manufacturers.

Cummins does not built a V8. They only make straight 6 and 4's. They don't need to make a V8. Their inline 6-Cylinder are better than anyone else's Turbo Diesel V8. Caterpillar diesels are the only other engines that even challenge them.

any word on alternative fuel on the diesel?

My understanding is any diesel can be converted, how does this effect numbers?

2006 Chicago Auto Show Nissan Quest Presentation [Feb. 8, 06]

BRAD BRADSHAW
Vice President and General Manager
Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc.

Good afternoon and thanks for stopping by.

In Detroit last month, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn made the statement that “Nissan is positioned to be a great car and truck company.”

As evidence, he cited the addition in the 2007 model year of an all-new entry-level Versa and an all-new, larger, more powerful Sentra. He also announced that the all-new 2007 Altima and new 2007 Maxima will debut at the upcoming New York Auto Show.

Today, we’re here to preview another important piece of our product portfolio, the new, greatly refined 2007 Nissan Quest.

We also have on display here a special Titan concept, the Titan Onyx. While we’re aware that there’s some other truck news coming out of the show this week, I’d like to remind you of a few facts about Titan.

When we launched Titan in 2003, it was the first true full-size import branded pickup. Not only did Titan meet or exceed all of the existing standards in class for size, power and towing capacity, Titan’s design set new standards for utility with innovations such as our Utili-track bed channel system and the King Cab’s Wide-Open rear doors.

Titan continues to deliver for Nissan. It has helped enhance the brand and has expanded our customer base. In a tough market, against much higher competitive incentives, Titan sales have remained strong – up 4% in 2005 to nearly 90,000 units.

We will continue to broaden the Titan lineup in the coming years, including diesels. We’ll also explore adding Titan special editions, along the lines of this Onyx Concept – which adds unique content and high visual impact.

This Titan Onyx Concept features an extensive list of modifications – including 20-inch wheels and tires, black interior accents and a unique grille and front valance. I hope you’ll take a closer look at it today.

Titan is a great example of Nissan’s core product development philosophy, which we characterize as “SHIFT_”.

“SHIFT_” means that Nissan does things differently for the sake of doing things better – and we’ve been extremely successful stretching the boundaries of car design and engineering innovation.

Hurry up already with the diesel so I don't have to buy a ford.

leeroy300 · 05-09-2006, 05:36 AM

lets hope that the price is not as drastic of a differance as the big 3

real_texan77 · 05-09-2006, 08:23 AM

the only thing that would scare me, is who would service these diesel. Nissan hasn't sold a diesel engine in the US for decades. Are they just going to send a couple of techs to a 2 weeks school and call them certified to service the engines.
