Not in Evropa, sweetie

I6's are better suited for industrial and commercial purposes, Less moving parts and shit.

Ford diesels are V8's.....

They may have six cylinders but they aren't shitty V6s.

*Chevy, sorry I'm fucking retarded

what do 18wheelers use yurop?

V8s. See: scania

i was seriously expecting to hear they use some shit like 3 cylinder engines with 80psi boost lel

Euro trucks pull more than Americans.

Downsizing engines is a meme used to make money from car owners.
Since trucks are actually important for the economy they don't have to use stupid meme engines but use ones nature intended that are actually suitable and efficient
>BIG I6 or V8 turbodiesel
A British company did once make an opposed piston 2 stroke supercharged 2 stroke diesel for a truck though but it's really bizarre.

>55mph or equivalent

The silverado will get an diesel i6

I don’t think that word means what you think it means

>once make an opposed piston 2 stroke supercharged 2 stroke diesel

And yet this was such a great idea..

This

Perfect primary and secondary mechanical balance. Same reason Mercedes and BMW uses straight-6 motors for smoothness and power

i6 is a perfectly balanced engine. You wouldn't want those massive 5-inch wide pistons vibrating your shit

Oh god, another one.
