Detroit Diesel Corp. has responded to what it terms an erroneous report about the MBE 4000 engine, for which DDC has sales and service responsibility in NAFTA.
The report, which was provided to truck dealer sales personnel, claimed that the MBE 4000 engine would not be certified for year 2004 emissions standards and beyond.
A spokeswoman for Detroit Diesel told Newport Communications the company prefers not to divulge the source of the report at this time.
"That report is completely false. We fully intend to certify the engine in 2004, and in 2007 as well. It is the newest engine design available," said Mark Bara, senior vice president of on-highway engines. "The MBE 4000 is the perfect complement to the Series 60 engine and was just recently added to the DDC product line-up. The MBE 4000 has already developed a reputation for excellent fuel economy, along with being the lightest of the heavy-duty engines, while offering a full 12.8 liters of displacement."
Detroit Diesel Corp., headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, is engaged in the design, manufacture, sale and service of heavy-duty diesel and alternative fuel engines, automotive diesel engines and engine-related products. The company offers a complete line of engines from 22 to 13,000 horsepower for the on-highway, off-road and automotive markets and is a QS-9000 certified company.
Detroit Diesel services these markets directly and through a worldwide network of more than 2,700 authorized distributor and dealer locations. Detroit Diesel is a subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler AG.
