Who’s got the biggest engine, smallest engine, most power or fuel economy really don’t matter.
If Cummins or Cat or other manufacturers really wanted to, they can play the power game like what’s going on with the diesel pickups that we have here.Brettj3876, Trucker61016, God prefers Diesels and 1 other person Thank this. -
It’s because North American engines are under “hoods” while European engines are under “bonnets.”
North American mechanics wear “coveralls” and uniform shirts while European mechanics wear “white lab coats”
That can mean the difference of say 200 hp’s easy.Bean Jr., singlescrewshaker, truckguy391 and 4 others Thank this. -
I’ve always heard that in the US engine manufactures made a deal with the government to keep hp down to save on emissions..... fines and or taxes.
