1/2-ton Nissan getting Cummins diesel in 2015

Nissan and Cummins have announced plans to release a version of the 1/2-ton Nissan Titan pickup with a 5.0L Cummins V8 diesel in 2015:

This is a separate program than the 2.8L I4 Cummins Nissan Titan project, which has seen a few prototypes, but no announcements on actual intentions of mass-production:

This 5.0L V8 Cummins diesel was the engine that was originally going to be for the Dodge Ram 1/2-ton pickup back in ~2010. Cummins had their manufacturing lines all ready to go when the program got axed during Chysler's bankruptcy.

Earlier this year, Ram announced they'll be offering a VM Motiri 3.0L V6 diesel in their 2014 1/2-ton trucks:
