[Detroit, 16 January 2019] – At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and the Ram brand, have launched an all-new 6.7 litre in-line diesel engine for the Ram Super Duty pick-up, based on a Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) cylinder block. Foundry production of the cylinder block has already begun at the Tupy foundry in Saltillo, Mexico, with vehicle sales commencing during the second quarter of 2019. The 6.7 litre turbodiesel is supplied by Cummins, one of the world’s leading and most respected diesel engine manufacturers. With 400 horsepower (298 kW) and 1,000 lb-ft of torque (1,356 Nm), the CGI upgrade provides a 12.5% increase in towing capacity while contributing to a 27 kg weight reduction for the engine.
