Bur the post by DI said TATA never used any foriegn collaboration or technical assistance or drawings, as far as I understood.

I bet the drawings of the cummins 6 BT is also made by ERC.

Btw the tie up with Hino-AL was from 1970's

Cummins B 5.9 is rated at 2500 RPM.
Baseless.... in the AL website most of the engines are rated at 2400 rpm.

Please do not post wrong facts.

Were you in ERC?? I request you to justify the statement. THe cummins 6BT drawings were copied or borrowed from Cummins?? What happened to the indigenious R & D??

ONe last remark on the subject.

So who has the better cabs now?? New gen AL or TATA??
For the uninformed I'll post apic of New gen cab here..
