Daimler announces new Detroit powertrain component brand based on Detroit Diesel in North America
17 October 2011
Daimler Trucks North America unveiled its new “Detroit” brand at the American Trucking Association Management Conference and Exhibition in Dallas, Texas. Based on the existing Detroit Diesel brand, the “Detroit” brand will encompass all powertrain-related truck components.
These include the state-of-the-art DD13, DD15, and DD16 diesel engines, which comply with the current EPA 2010 emissions standards in the US. These engines cover a broad performance spectrum ranging from 350 to 600 hp.
The Detroit brand powertrain components will be available across the entire DTNA product range, including Freightliner Trucks, Western Star trucks, Freightliner Custom Chassis, and the buses produced by the leading US school bus producer, Thomas Built Buses. Other truck producers such as Pierce and Van Hool will also be relying on the powertrain technology of Detroit brand products. In the course of the coming year, DTNA will present a whole series of new products from the Detroit product family.
