Cummins-Powered TITAN XD Named 2016 Pickup of the Year

by Cummins Inc., Global Power Technology Leader
2016 Nissan Titan XD Platinum Reserve

Editors at Cars.com and PickupTrucks.com have named the Nissan TITAN XD the 2016 Pickup Truck of the Year. Powered by the brand new Cummins 5L V8 Turbo Diesel, the TITAN XD roared past five other trucks to claim the top spot. It’s one of a number of awards the TITAN XD has received: it was also named the 2015 Official Truck of Texas, the Truck of the Year by AutoGuide.com, the Truck of the Month for January 2016 from Motorweek, the 2016 Pickup Truck of the Year from Autobyte and received the 2015 Best Powertrain Award by the Texas Auto Writers Association.

Nissan's all-new pickup stakes a bold claim in the truck market, straddling the line between half-ton and three-quarter-ton heavy duty pickups. Though its innovative frame and unmatched features put the TITAN XD in a new class, editors billed its advanced "smart and torquey" Cummins turbo diesel as the TITAN XD's secret weapon.

Pairing the powerful new engine with a lighter frame gives the TITAN XD more towing capacity than typical half-ton pickups and a far more comfortable ride than three-quarter-ton heavy duty trucks.

Judges also praised the TITAN XD’s high-quality trim options, offering versatility and utility for a wide range of truck buyers. Though these trim levels certainly make the TITAN XD a beauty to ride in, its Cummins engine takes it to the next level.

Under the Hood

The 2016 TITAN XD is Nissan's first diesel pickup truck, sporting a newly developed Cummins V8. The 32-valve two stage-turbo diesel, tailored for Nissan, delivers 310 hp with a torque rating of 555 lb-ft. Built in Columbus, Indiana, this unique engine puts out some serious power.

The engine hooks up to Aisin’s heavy duty six-speed automatic transmission, offering great fuel efficiency and the power to finish the toughest jobs.

The 2016 Nissan TITAN XD carves out an exciting new niche in the pickup industry, and we’re proud to unveil our latest V8 turbo diesel in such a promising new truck. Discover more about the Cummins-powered 2016 Nissan TITAN XD here.

Los Custompaks de Cummins se utilizan para la gestión del agua mientras Tailandia lucha con su crisis de agua

Water crisis

Sixty Cummins Inc. CustomPaks are in service in Thailand as part of a critical water management plan aimed at easing the country’s water crisis – a crisis that has caused enormous economic and social damage and stirred conflict among communities.

En las últimas décadas, Tailandia ha enfrentado continuamente problemas de agua causados por una grave sequía. Water reserves in dams and reservoirs are insufficient while water resources are often contaminated with toxins caused by urban communities and the industrial and agricultural sectors.

Severe flooding is a threat, too, at a time when the realities of climate change are hanging over the country.

As a result, the allocation of precious water resources, which must be shared among various stakeholders including new and existing industry, large and small agriculture, and cities and villages has become a flashpoint.

Kittithanapat Engineering Co. (KTP), has been involved in the water management system since 1996, working closely with authorities such as the Royal Irrigation Department, Department of Water Resources, Bangkok Metropolitan Authority and others.

600 hp CustomPaks

To help KTP meet its often urgent requirements, Cummins DKSH (Thailand) has recently supplied 60 Australian-built CustomPaks - 45 powered by Cummins' X15 engine rated at 600 hp, and 15 powered by the QSL9 rated at 325 hp. These fully self-contained powerpacks are emissions certified to Tier 3.

The CustomPaks are coupled to hydraulically-driven, large-volume submersible water pumps sourced by KTP from US company Moving Water Industries (MWI); KTP is the exclusive distributor in Thailand for these MWI Hydroflo pumps.

Prior to Cummins’ involvement, KTP was using another diesel engine brand but service support wasn’t up to the standard required.

Long-serving KTP engineer Kittisak Thanasoot says Cummins DKSH’s reputation for technical and aftersales support along with the reliability of the Cummins product were a key reason behind KTP’s decision to specify the CustomPaks for the Royal Irrigation Department.

The ability of Cummins DKSH to respond to short delivery times was also important.

“Supplying large quantities of high horsepower diesel engines for emergency situations such as flash flooding can be a challenge for KTP,” says Kittisak Thanasoot.

“Responding to the needs of the government agencies to manage such problems in a timely manner and with least impact on communities, KTP has found the answer in our partnership with Cummins DKSH.”
