Up to 50 Bonus Horsepower

The 14.8L DD15 gives you pulling power that launches you off the line. One driver told us it accelerated like an empty truck, another said it was like a jet. But don’t take their word: sign up for a test drive and see for yourself.

Power Without Penalty

It used to be that if you wanted an engine with real pulling power, you’d suffer at the fuel pump. And with diesel prices at record prices, you could suffer quite a bit. But we broke the cycle: the DD15 increases fuel economy by up to 5%. How much did you spend on fuel in the past year?

How’d We Do It?

It’s a new term, but a proven technology: Turbo Compounding. Invented during WWII, turbo compounding takes heated exhaust from the turbo, and pours that energy back into the drive train. Power and economy, without a drop of extra fuel. You’ll learn even more details in the Demand It All Trailer. Or if you can’t make it, you can always stop by DetroitDiesel.com.

Innovation Delivers the Impossible

The DD15 Amplified Common Rail System (ACRS) means you get the best of everything: emissions control, power, fuel efficiency and reliability. It measures what you want that engine to do, and delivers just the right amount of fuel to do it. It’s advanced engineering that’s worth cheering about.

1.5 Seconds to Glory

In 1.5 seconds, the DD15 gives you nearly everything its got: 90% of its 1550 lb-ft of torque. That means you’re pulling hard right off the line. It’s a heavy-duty engine that’s actually fun to drive.
