Daimler introduced a new generation of powerful diesel engines

The Detroit Gen 6 engine line includes the DD13, DD15 and DD16 models, which will be installed on Freightliner and Western Star trucks. The premiere took place 3 weeks before the birthday of the creator of the diesel engine, Rudolf Diesel.

According to Daimler, engineers relied on improving the previous generation of engines (Gen 5). This made it possible to make the new engines durable, reliable and at the same time increase their fuel efficiency and reduce emissions into the atmosphere.

Production of new engines will be established in the USA, at a plant in Redford (Michigan), where more than 2,000 people work. The Detroit Gen 6 DD13 and DD15 are slated to go into production in January 2027, with the DD16 joining them in January 2028.

Previously, two Jeland crossovers were certified in Russia.
