The Detroit DD13 engine is now out there with new options and energy rankings, making the 13L a flexible selection for any freeway or job website. Modifications to the engine are targeted round effectivity, robustness and thermal administration, all of which contribute to a low complete price of possession (TCO) and most uptime.

The DD13 Gen 5 engine is 60 kilos lighter than its predecessor on account of its new aftertreatment system (ATS) and is accessible with the Freightliner Cascadia for on-highway functions and Western Star 49X vehicles for vocational functions similar to development and municipal jobs. Higher packaging and extra body rail house ensures clear again of body for Truck Tools Producers (TEMs) and upfitters.

ThermoCoasting, which was initially launched with the Detroit DD15 Gen 5 engine, prevents aftertreatment calm down throughout a driving regen to maintain the system at its optimum temperature and considerably reduces the necessity for parked regenerations. That is significantly helpful for stop-and-go vocational/city functions the place most uptime is a should. ThermoCoasting additionally will increase ATS efficiency and extends Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) cleansing and upkeep intervals, maximizing TCO.
 
Lots of the key parts within the DD13 Gen 5 engine have diminished packaging complexity and are extra sturdy to attain a fair larger degree of reliability in comparison with earlier generations.

A flexible answer for vocational challenges 

With new vocational-focused rankings delivering as much as 525 HP and 1850 lb-ft of torque, the DD13 Gen 5 is right for a wider vary of jobsite functions together with mixers, municipal, vacuum vehicles, and oilfield. These rankings have extra energy on the higher finish of the RPM band and extra torque on the low finish in comparison with the present DD13. 

Moreover, the DD13 Gen 5 has been strengthened to deal with larger compression ratios, whereas its new swirl piston design improves combustion and effectivity. A brand new uneven, fastened geometry turbocharger delivers speedy response whereas additionally utilizing new thermal administration methods to maintain warmth within the aftertreatment and cut back the quantity of system calm down. The brand new journal bearing turbocharger additionally encompasses a Thermal Management Valve (TCV) that considerably boosts regen efficiency, permitting for extra accomplished regens at most engine speeds and hundreds, particularly when using a PTO for vocational functions.  

Improved gasoline effectivity, reliability for on-highway efficiency 

 The brand new ball bearing, fastened geometry turbocharger permits peak energy and torque to be reached sooner and delivers extra gasoline financial system beneficial properties. Built-in Detroit Powertrain (IDP) rankings additional sluggish engine RPMs whereas sustaining pulling energy, decreasing parasitic losses and put on for optimum gasoline effectivity. The journal bearing turbocharger with the Thermal Management Valve (TCV) can also be out there with out additional downspeeding for on-highway clients. 

Backed by Detroit expertise

The DD13 Gen 5 engine comes customary with the Detroit Join suite of linked automobile providers, which gives fleets with distant entry to automobile diagnostic knowledge in addition to professional gasoline effectivity and security efficiency insights.
