kscarbel2 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 May 11, 2016 / 360 Truck Navistar’s “Global Operations” partner JAC recently displayed an all-new high-cab heavy truck concept. The flagship tractor concept, codenamed “Crossing", will feature high-power engines including the 11.8-liter Cummins ISG and 11.6-liter Weichai WP12, available with a ZF AS Tronic automated manual transmission (AMT). The cab is fully air suspended, as are the rear drive axles. Other details remain sparse. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The $3 million question......did Navistar provide JAC with design assistance on this project, as they have with existing Class 8 models? If so, that would indicate Navistar’s current engineering staff has what it takes to design a modern, competitive global market COE in year 2016. .

Your correlation is dead on. Anyway, you are always a fountain of knowledge and interesting thoughts. I look forward to all your posts. Thank you BTW, JAC's light truck range is virtually as good as the Japanese units, and available with the Cummins 3.8-litre ISF (http://jacen.jac.com.cn/showroom/n-series.html).
