Well I haven't heard anything about Volvo/Paccar on my end. But stranger things have happened, LOL.
It's almost like politics with manufacturers these days......they say one thing and do something else.
You sure it wasn't the VW/Navistar partnership he was telling you about Diamond? Because International had dropped Cummins years ago when they did the venture with Caterpillar. Now that that is over they went back to Cummins. But now they have three big engine builders in their stable for future development (VW, MAN and Scania) and I know Cummins was worried about that, because they don't have a solid future commitment from International.
International has come out and said point blank....for the moment we will continue to offer Cummins and they have been a great partner, but we have big plans for more vertical integration from our new VW partners.
