It's funny how one thing leads to another for Biglorryblog. Take the recent post I did on the above 'Chinese' Iveco Stralis -- the Genlyon...I didn't even know it existed---or that there was a joint venture company called Saic Iveco Hongyan (SIH) until Iep van der Meer told me. But what caught my eye was a passing remark in an accompanying Dutch press release which mentioned a "...New Cursor 9 engine ...Part of the FPT Cursor range, equipped with the newest generation of common rail fuel injection systems and is locally produced in China. The Cursor 9 is available with 270pk--400pk and satisfies the Euro 3 standard. The engine has been, however, developed for upgrade to Euro-4 and Euro-5, in line with China's transport policy." Now Cursor 8 (there's one below) I know about... And Cursor and 10 and 13 too... So is the Cursor 9 a new power unit?
My man in Iveco says yes there is a Cursor 9 which does indeed feature an all new Common-Rail fuelling system in place of the current Cursor 8's unit injectors.
And although it's being developed first in China it will break cover for Europe in time for Euro-6 (currently the pundits reckon we'll see that happen around 2012 but it's still up for grabs). But why the delay? Click through here to find out...
Well the bottom line is that with the current world recession the launch of new truck and engine developments has been slowed down amongst all the global manufacturers until it's absolutely ncessary--or to put it another away until legislation demands it. So there's no point developing a Euro-6 engine early if the regulations haven't been sorted and when there's precious litlle market for it. Meanwhile, I ask my man whether if, there being a Cursor 9, we can expect a Cursor 11 and Cursor 14... He stays impressively quiet. But I think you can take it as read that as the Cursor engine range is a 'family' what goes on one will inevitably be seen on the others... Common Rail with pasta anyone?
