CHARGING FORWARD

Electronic Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT)

Want faster response and quicker acceleration? Detroit Diesel's VGT is the turbocharger for you. With variable vanes that allow the engine to electronically control the exhaust pressure in the system VGT improves overall engine and Jake brake performance by quickly adapting to different driving conditions.

Still a Fuel Economy Leader

At a trim 2,557 lbs, the 2007 Series 60 puts its power in the right place—hauling loads. Integrated DDEC VI electronics and the Aftertreatment System help make the Series 60 the most fuel-efficient heavy-duty application engine on the road since 1987.

More Power, Less Bulk

Maximizing fuel economy means improving the power-to-weight ratio of an engine. The Series 60 delivers more power in a lighter package—that means you'll have more payload capacity and better fuel efficiency.

Engine Weight

The Series 60 has been a leading engine in its class since 1987. No surprise there. Superior design and precision gear train and single cylinder air compressor engineering enhancements have kept the Series 60 the lightest, most fuel-efficient engine in its class.

Gear Train

We've made the new Series 60 gear train 53 lbs lighter—giving you more room for air flow under the hood. Our new component brackets are stronger, and help reduce overall vibration and noise. The Series 60 gives you ultimate performance and comfort on the road, and excellent serviceability in the shop.

Cylinder Kits

The Series 60 features a stronger, lighter one-piece piston design and a naturally aspirated single cylinder compressor that team up to reduce oil consumption by using a closed oil gallery and a smoother bore on the cylinder liner. Perfection is in the details of the Series 60.
