After watching various videos and doing some minor surfing for specs, I think the diesel engine that will be used in the ProMaster is the Fiat Industrial 4P10 3.0. We know the correct size is 3.0, and if my idea is correct, it's a world wide in use engine already.
What I can find is it's a relatively new design, 2009-10 time frame, I think, jointly designed with Mitsubishi Fuso, hence it's use here in North America already in the medium duty Fuso trucks.
Should be a good engine especially for a light duty van & chassis cabs aka ProMaster......

I hadn't seen any of this talked about here yet so I thought I'd look it up.
Someone may find something else out, or more pertinent info

This engine moves also this vehicle:

It's a very good engine.
Many are installed on motorhomes in Europe and user are very satisfied by both versions installed on the Ducato (160 and 180 hp)...
The only "issue" is that the Euro5 180 is a little less brilliant at lower revs.
On the Daily there is also a more powerful version with a twin turbo...

No, the ProMaster is getting an in-line 4cyl 3.0 diesel, not the Mottori V-6.
They are from 2 different companies within the Fiat conglomerate. Mottori is the one that GM co-owned with Fiat up until they, GM, pulled out in 2009 I believe.
The V6 Mottori diesel was originally supposed to be a Cadillac engine for Europe. It would be nice for the PM to get this engine though

The 4 cylinder diesel for the Promaster is the S30 us written by Vale72, better known as F1C (is part of F1 family engines).
4P10 is the name of F1C built by FTP Industrial for Mitsubishi Fuso (Daimler group) that use it in the Canter truck. Since 1st quarter 2013 they built 4P10 engine with EPA13 specification for on road vehicles (engines are built in Italy in FPT Industrial Foggia plant, there are other plants that serve other markets).
In Foggia plant FPT since 2000 built around 2 million F1 family engines (F1A 2.3 l, F1B 2.8 l that is going out of production and F1C 3.0 l).

The F1C is also used in the IVECO Daily (RWD more payload, frame, no Unibody) and IVECO Daily 4x4.

I believe VM Motori is now one of the largest manufacturers of diesels in Europe.

MJAB is correct about which version is being used. They are all the same basic design with variations for each vehicle manufacturer, hence different model designations.

In other words, they make a whole lot of them.....
