There must be another engine made by a none American firm that are just robust and durable?

What power those vans that run around Europe putting on million of miles? How about the trucks that run in places like the middle east, Africa and part of Asia. I know the modern days (80s on) are mostly Japenese or Merc. But what about from 60s and the 70s?
I can't confirm this but my brothers USPS truck with the slant six, the chassis was stamped (sp) Gerstanslager so I am guessing it was made in Germany (with an american engine)?
