If they made a big bore for the HX 520 i’d Be willing to try it out. I have a 5900 with an isx and Scania is all over the fuel system. I’d love one of those big scania v8’s. But, I doubt they will do that

Being a long time International fan, driver and owner I hope that this all does work out for them. Becvause I too am not a fan of the latest Cummin's. I have tried an X15 but the Signature and ISX have not been any good to me. I sure miss my CT powered International's.
I wonder why they didn't give us 1850 torque with the A26? Everyone else can make 1850 with 12 and 13 litre engines. -
The one way that does look interesting and I am waiting for when one of the OEM's brings it out is the Opposed Piston Opposed Cylinder (OPOC) engine. That is a real interesting design. 1/3 fewer internal components. 1/3 the weight of a similar power inline diesel motor. Modular in that it can have banks of cylinders added. Those banks could be engaged and disengaged depending on power demand. No valve train, no cams. Two cylinders in which 4 pistons operate opposing each other. Electrical driven turbocharger that can eliminate turbo lag. Very low profile, low center of gravity, cylinders are horizontally opposed.

Commer did that back in the '50's..
Were very popular here in Australia right up until the early 70's.

Seems the OPOC that I referenced is more compact and streamlined.

My salesman told me the Eaton Endurant is now available with the A26. It’s not officially announced yet but, if you walk into a dealer today, it’s in their software as an option to order.
Trucker61016 Thanks this. -
If I was looking at the A26 in an LT, I would be inclined to look at the Allsion TC10 for a trans. I drove a truck with an Allison up in Alaska as a test trial back when I lived there in the 80's. it was a remarkable trans. If I was looking at going with an auto shift, I would have to go with the Allison. A true torque converter style transmission and ten forward gears.
