It all adds up to substantial power, efficiency and reliability.

The Detroit DD8 delivers when it counts.

Efficiency, Performance & Durability

 The DD8 is the most technologically advanced mid-range engine available in its market. Its features include:

• Proprietary variable cam-phasing technology that reduces or eliminates regens for efficient aftertreatment system performance. Variable cam phasing keeps your aftertreatment system at the right temperatures during low-speed operation. That means fewer (or no) parked regens—and more time on the road. 
• The DD8 also has a smart, fuel-efficient design that makes the most of every gallon and lightens the load on the aftertreatment system. 
• Its advanced common rail fuel system optimizes each injection event to minimize fuel consumption.
• A variable-speed fan and advanced cooling system providing shorter fan-on times for increased fuel efficiency
• Simple, fixed-geometry, turbocharger for performance, efficiency and reliability
• An optional high-performance integrated engine brake
• A robust and sturdy rear gear train helps minimize noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)
• PTO Capability – both FEPTO and REPTO – for a variety of vocational work-truck applications
• Detroit provides a wide range of new vehicle engines compliant with EPA, CARB emissions, GHG, and OBD requirements. Please consult your local dealer to ensure the selection of a product that meets your specific needs.
