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
- Up to 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
- 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.
