Ford to use Damler Chrylser Diesel engines

In an odd bit of engineering, Ford has confirmed that the redesigned Explorer will receive a diesel powertrain sourced, curiously enough, from Daimler-Chrysler. This curiosity is the result of DCX's recent purchase of Penske (previously Detroit) Diesel, who manufacturers the engine. No details just yet on what the engine will be, but the model will be built stateside, but for European consumption, the oil-burner is slated to hit foreign shores later this year.
