The DD13 ® engine builds upon the Detroit industry-leading heavy-duty engine legacy and proven technologies to bring efficiency and performance to the next level. The DD13 engine offers the best of the best in cutting-edge diesel engine technology and engineering, resulting in the most reliable diesel engine for your truck.

Its features include:

  • A swirl piston design for better combustion
  • State-of-the-art turbo for rapid torque performance
  • Advanced thermal management for extended idle
  • Low load PTO operation for fewer regens
  • Extended DPF service intervals for maximum uptime
  • Greater fuel efficiency than ever before
  • Increased downspeeding with IDP ratings

 

THE DD13 TAKES THE REPUTATION OF THE DD15 TO NEW HEIGHTS.

HORSEPOWER RANGE

370-525

TORQUE RANGE

1250-1850 LB-FT

DISPLACEMENT

781 CU IN (12.8 L)

 

NEW VOCATIONAL FEATURES INCLUDE:

  • Versatility for a wide range of applications.
    • New power ratings, greater application coverage, and available front and rear engine power take offs (FEPTO / REPTO).
  • Greater reliability than ever before.
    • Engineered to offer less complexity and more durability in many of its key components, the DD13 achieves an even higher standard of reliability.
  • Longer maintenance intervals.
    • The new Detroit® Aftertreatment System does more with less. This new ATS features a single, larger Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) with Asymmetric Cell Technology for increased service intervals and 60-pound weight savings in a smaller housing. The new ATS works hand in hand with the Detroit heavy-duty platform of engines through techniques such as Asymmetric Injection and Auto-Elevate to ensure optimal temperatures, leading to fewer regens. When paired with the Detroit Vocational or On-Highway Series of DT12® transmissions, the engine can also ThermoCoast, keeping temperatures up during low load driving.
  • Better combustion for better fuel economy.
    • Ultra-high compression ratios combined with a new swirl piston design and a new, 10-pin injector create better combustion, reduce ash production, and improve fuel economy by up to 4.0 percent.
  • Detroit’s trusted service and technology.
    • Detroit’s #1 service network, along with the Detroit Connect Virtual Technician® remote diagnostic system, helps maximize uptime.
