kscarbel2 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Apparently Volvo cooperated with Chinese engine maker Weichai and installed at least one of the Chinese engines in a Mack MRU. This particular engine is a 10-liter (9.726L) natural gas model WP10NG.Now I've seen it all..

Popular Post bbigrig Posted April 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2014 Probably to be sold over there. It makes sense when you think about it. The MRU is a fairly reliable Chassis and what the heck, throw a rice burning power plant in there to make them think they know how to build trucks.....Has anyone else noticed we export our quality natural resources and import their crap on a regular basis. Guess our Bulldogs are no different. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35442-chinese-powered-macks/#findComment-242929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 And we probably export our natural resources for free since we owe so much money to China for debt. I would not doubt that China owns great portions of our natural resources and the politicians don't inform us of such.

MackMann85 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I had heard Weichei and Cummins Westport had a partnership, and plenty of Cummins Westport engines go in Mack MRU trucks. My guess is its a chassis Westport owned or Weichei bought without anyone else knowing. Like when Toyota probably cringes when they see a rebel terrorist with a machine gun mounted to a Hilux truck, when you sell something god only knows where it might end up!

bbigrig Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I heard that Westport has dropped Cummins ISX15L versions or Vise-Versa for the Natural gas Westport engineered engines. Westport will be releasing a new natural gas engine soon built on the Volvo D13 engine.
