Detroit Tweaks Lineup
Detroit Diesel Corp.
While design work continues in preparation for 2007, Detroit Diesel Corp. (DDC) isn’t standing still with its existing product line. The company is offering additional ratings for the 7.2-litre MBE 900: it’s now available with unrestricted ratings from 250 through 330 hp. Previously, the 300-
and 330-hp ratings were limited to fire and emergency applications. The MBE 4000 engine will soon be available with a rear engine power take off (REPTO) option, opening up even more vocational applications for the 12.8-litre engine. On the 14-litre Series 60, DDC has just announced a further increase in fuel economy of up to 1.9 percent in some applications. Use of rigorous research, testing and analysis, and proprietary new tools have enabled modifications that could result in substantial
fuel savings, the company says.
