This new ICE V-8 must be a real dog, or at least nothing to get real excited about. If they tout it as an "improvement" then Winston Smith will have a new assignment real soon.
It was under development before the switch to EV. I was still there at the time. If it is still what it was intended to be when I was there, it is focused on making certain that the vehicles who use it are in better position to meet 2026 commercial vehicle emissions regulations and competitive with other commercial vehicles that will be in market at the time.

Real question… who is Winston Smith?

***EDIT*** Nevermind. Orwell’s ghost paid me a visit.
