Just curious if anyone has any knowledge of just what interaction there is with Ford Otosan. In particular when it comes to commercial vehicles. It is my understanding that all heavy truck engineering world wide is handled by Ford Otosan-which is owned jointly by Ford and the Koc family on a 50/50 basis. I went to the Ford Otosan Portal and it is an impressive site. One thing that jumped out...1200 engineers employed.
A few of us have repeatedly wondered why the 9L Ecotorque diesel is not brought here to provide another option to the 6.7. I recognize it would have to undergo certification but how far is Euro 6 from US EPA standards?
Or again-is "One Ford" yesterday's newspaper.
And by the way, the new F-Max Ford which is "international Truck of the Year" is being rolled out all across Europe and the middle east. When you look at the commitment these people have going up against the existing big truck power houses of Daimler, Volvo, VW/Scania etc., it is impressive.
