ECONOMY
DETROIT ENGINEERS CONTINUE TO DELIVER GREATER FUEL ECONOMY THROUGH INNOVATION. THIS DD13 ENGINE IS BETTER THAN EVER.
The fuel-efcient design makes the most of every gallon with an Amplied Common Rail System (ACRS ) that optimizes each

WEVE MADE SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DD13, INCLUDING:

An optional new variable speed water pump [A] controls flow, based on engine speed and coolant temperature, reducing engine loads and contributing to improved fuel economy. A friction-optimized piston design [B] contributes to improved fuel economy and reduced oil consumption. Updated DDEC engine electronics [C] enhance engine control and help meet compliance standards. A modified fuel injector nozzle [D] also adds to fuel economy.

injection event to minimize fuel consumption. Available exclusively in Detroit engines, ACRS works in unison with our DDEC electronic engine controls to deliver the exact amount of fuel you need at the right moment, creating an optimal combustion event. All that work ne-tuning combustion means lower emissions, less engine noise and vibration, and less wasted time stopping at the pump. Everything, right down to the advanced cooling system that decreases fan on-time, was designed to minimize fuel consumption.

OPTIMIZED DRIVETRAIN EFFICIENCY

When it comes to maximizing the return on your Detroit-powered drivetrain, vehicle gearing is an important thing to consider. Specing the right axles also is a critical factor in the fuel economy equation. To get the most out of each gallon of fuel simply consult your local Detroit representative. Our powertrain experts and vast support network will ensure you get the perfect engine and drivetrain combination to meet your needs. With the Detroit Spec Manager tool, well analyze your specifications and make sure that all performance and economy needs are not only met, but exceeded. Heres what you can expect for typical on-highway tractor-trailer applications of 80,000 lb. or less. For maximum fuel economy at 65 mph, gear for an engine speed of 1350 RPM. When you need extra performance, gear for an engine speed of 1450 RPM at 65 mph.

PERFORMANCE
TORQUE RESPONSE IS THE KEY TO PERFORMANCE. THIS ENGINE WILL HAUL, CLIMB, PULL, MIX and DUMP WHEN AND WHERE YOU NEED IT.
An extremely wide and at torque curve maintains the power to keep the drivers foot off the clutch and hands on the wheel for less shifting and fatigue. With the DD13, drivers also will get a wider sweet spot that makes it easier to cruise along in the fuel-saving range. So, whether youre navigating trafc or maneuvering through a construction site, the DD13 delivers great fuel economy. A three-stage integrated Jacobs engine brake gives you more stopping power and quieter engine braking than ever before. And, thanks to its exceptional braking power, the Jake Brake also extends the service brake life. The DD13 design is based on a sturdy rear gear train and ribbed cast iron block to minimize noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). The robust design provides a B50 life of one million miles. And, the wastegated, asymmetrical turbocharger has fewer moving parts than a VGT design, which improves performance, and reliability. The turbocharger also applies constant back-pressure to efciently enable the EGR system, all of which add up to a dependable engine that gets drivers where they need to go, and makes work seem a little less like work. The DD13 also offers rear-engine power take-off as an option for certain applications. And, if all that isnt enough, DDEC provides a complete offering of engine and driver performance reports to help you maximize the advantages of the DD13.

BLUETEC
The DD13 features BlueTec selective catalytic reduction (SCR) emissions technology which was first introduced to meet EPA 2010 emissions standards. This comprehensive system works in concert with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and has been improved while still meeting todays emissions standards. BlueTec includes the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF), diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and an SCR catalyst to remove particulate matter and nitrogen oxide from the exhaust. The system cleans emissions downstream, helping the engine run more efficiently, which improves fuel economy. Most of the harmful exhaust is converted into nitrogen and water before being released from the tailpipe.
