    It would be nice if International had a larger engine design,say a 15L version.. Only issue is the US doesn't have the same diesel fuel quality like the EU has.. It's amazing that Cummins has built an engine platform that is reliable on the lower fuel quality here in the States..Scania engine designs are definitely better..
