Introducing The All-New Detroit Diesel DD15

The DD15 takes innovation to a whole new level. This impressive new engine delivers incredible torque response and power, increased fuel economy, extremely long torque range, increased maintenance intervals and a smoother, cleaner ride.

Incredible Torque Response

• The DD15 delivers 90% peak torque in 1.5 seconds.
  Here’s how:
  – Breakthrough innovation called
  Amplified Common Rail Fuel   System (ACRS™)
  – Simple and reliable pre-EPA ’98   non-wastegated and
  non-variable geometry-style turbocharger
  – Low inertia, dual overhead camshafts

Increased fuel economy

• A 5% fuel savings* over other leading engines
• Turbo compounding system recovers normally wasted exhaust gases and turns them into usable power without sacrificing fuel

Extremely Long Torque Range

• Pulls down to 1000 RPM
• At just over 1000 RPM, you’re at 90% peak torque
• Ultra-long flat torque curve for less shifting

Smoother, Quieter engine

• ACRS reduces emissions, noise and vibration
• Rear gear train and ribbed cast iron cylinder block with integrated oil and coolant passages minimize vibration and sound
• Integrated Jacobs® Engine Brake with three levels of braking increases stopping power and reduces noise

Low Maintenance

• Engine sub-systems are modularly built to simplify parts replacement and maintenance
• All filters are cartridge style and located above the frame rails for easy replacement
