Strength and Efficiency on the Road or on the Job Site

Detroit Diesel DD16Detroit offers a big-bore workhorse with up to 600 horsepower and 2050 lb-ft of torque, delivering more efficient and dependable power and performance. Beyond performance, Detroit engineers have been able to meet GHG17 requirements while improving fuel economy.

Efficient Performance

The exclusive 2nd Generation Amplified Common Rail System (ACRS™) and simple turbocharger combine to deliver instant acceleration like no other engine and torque response other drivers will envy.

  • The right amount of fuel at the right time makes for an extremely quiet, smooth combustion and meets strict emissions requirements
  • Variable injection patterns give you fuel economy across a wide variety of engine operations
  • Turbo compounding helps you use less fuel without sacrificing power – making it the perfect solution for rising fuel prices. It recovers thermal energy from the exhaust stream, converting normally lost energy into useable power.

Save Fuel with Proven SCR Emissions Technology

Like all Detroit engines, the DD16 comes with SCR emissions technology and our exclusive 1-Box Configuration helping meet stringent emission standards at the tailpipe.
